DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Philadelphia Chapte
 r is holding a technical meeting. The topic is Modernizing Electrical Swit
 chgear and Circuit Breakers. Our speaker is Tanner Esco\, Lead Application
  Engineer\, Eaton Power Breaker Center.\n\nThis presentation outlines the 
 importance and benefits of modernizing electrical equipment. It highlights
  the advantages of upgrading existing switchgear\, including increased rel
 iability\, reduced maintenance costs and improved safety. The presentation
  covers various modernization options such as breaker reconditioning\, rep
 lacements\, and custom retrofits for both low voltage (LV) and medium volt
 age (MV) breakers. It also discusses replacement switchgear doors with new
  protective relays as well as ways to improve safety such as remote rackin
 g and trip unit upgrades.\n\nThere is no charge for meeting attendance\, o
 nly for PDH certificates.\n\nAttendees may apply for 1.0 PDH provided thro
 ugh the IEEE Certificates Program\, accepted in all states. Member cost is
  $7.00 and non-member cost is $10.00 (USD) via vTools. Credit card payment
 s are processed through PayPal. Checks will be accepted. Complete online e
 valuation after lecture at https://r2.ieee.org/philadelphia-vts/forms/\n\n
 Payment must be received and evaluation form must be completed within thre
 e days to receive PDH certificate.\n\nIEEE VTS Philadelphia Chapter Office
