Description
This presentation is a technical overview providing the attendees with an understanding on why surge protection is a mandatory component of today’s electrical systems power the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution. New code changes are now mandating SPDs be included as a standard electrical system component to ensure reliability of electrical distribution equipment and operation. CEC credits are available for this presentation.
Topics Include:
- Understanding
surges and their mitigation
- What is a ‘Surge’?
- How a SPD operates?
- Standards
review and NEC update
