CED Seminar: Trends in Switchgear
With an ever increasing emphasis on operator safety, low cost of operation, and implementing remote control and monitoring electronics, specifications for switchgear and its associated equipment are changing. Higher current in a smaller footprint is no longer the number one desired goal. This presentation will discuss the most common requests seen in specifications, the practicality of these features, and some of the misconceptions about what is actually attainable.
