Food Grade Ratings for Food Processing Equipment
Public health has become a major focus around the world with the focus on preventing the spread of diseases. In many countries, policies for food safety have been in place for decades, some have been more recent, and some have very little regulation. In this webinar we will compare food safety regulations in three different countries to show similarities.

Oil and Gas Applications
When working in oil and gas areas it is imperative to remove one of the three elements of the fire triangle from enclosures housing electronics. In this webinar, we will be talking about ATEX, IECex, AEX (NEC505), and NEC500. All of these seek to add safety to working environments and prevent explosions, but they do so with different definitions. Large Oil and Gas producers often adopt one set of regulations worldwide so when their workers show up on a site, they do not have to question which set of regulations they are working with.
Effects of Heat on Industrial Cabinets
Electronics are sensitive to heat. As control panels become smarter, more electronic devices make their way into the protected environment of the control enclosure. In this webinar, we will look at the effects of heat on components in the control cabinet and where that heat is generated. We will also propose ways to minimize the heat and prolong system uptime.
Residential Solar Applications
As alternative energy sources gain more traction, people are beginning to see the need for standards that keep homeowners and their property safe. In this evolving area of consumer demand, the photovoltaic installation needs to be done with the care and concern of the homeowner in mind. Join us as we look at this blossoming new opportunity to generate clean energy.

Protecting Equipment in Highly Corrosive Environments
From coastal applications to fertilizer manufacturing to cleaning solutions in a food application, automation controls need to be protected. What are the right materials for the enclosure? How do we cool it down to prevent catastrophic failure? These and other questions will be addressed in this webinar.

Power and Utilities
Enclosures form the backbone of power distribution to homes, schools, businesses, and everywhere there is a light or power outlet. In multi-tenant buildings, there is a need for current transformer cabinets to split the power to the meters the determine proper billing based on usage. Utility junction cabinets bring power to residential neighborhoods. With the new initiative of “The Electrification of Everything,” this demand will continue to grow.

ATEX, IECex, and AEX Certifications
With the global adoption of IECex in many countries worldwide, there has been a push to get the US on board to minimize confusion in Hazardous locations. We will go through IECex, ATEX, and the NEC 505 AEX to show how far the efforts to harmonize standards have come.

Active Cooling and Passive Cooling in Industrial Enclosures
Overheating of electrical equipment shortens life and could lead to catastrophic failure. When seasons turn from cooler to warmer, the need for industrial cooling increases. In this webinar we will look at determining the surface area required to dissipate heat generated by internal electrical equipment, allowing us to understand the temperature rise inside the enclosure.

Labor Savings Efforts to Keep New Construction Projects On-Time and On-Budget
Qualified personnel are a company’s greatest asset. Keeping employees working efficiently on the parts of their job that are most valuable, is good for both workers and the company. Join nVent HOFFMAN and nVent CADDY to learn about current market trends and discover how our innovative solutions provide on-the-job labor savings.

Water Wastewater Applications
In every community, there is a need for potable water. In every community, there is a need to sanitize the wastewater so it does not negatively impact the environment. Municipalities rely on their utility department to reliably manage Sanitary/Sewer Systems and keep the public safe. We will look at some of the challenges they face and provide some potential answers to some of those challenges.

Hygienic Food Processing - Keeping Food Safe
Equipment used in the processing of food and beverages must be sterilized before and remain sterile during production. When designing processing equipment there are many basic requirements to consider: the equipment must have the capability of being cleaned thoroughly, and it is highly advantageous to carry a food-grade rating.

Drawing File Preparation Tips & Guidance
Tips & guidance on the best ways to format and send drawings in order to ensure drawings are approved as quickly as possible. Join our panel of technical experts as they answer your questions about what needs to be on a drawing when it is initially submitted to avoid delays.

Past Data Solutions Webinars

Security Applications
Cameras are everywhere. In some municipalities, police have employed not only cameras but “shot detectors” to make sure their cameras are facing the right direction during an event. Remote security at power transformers ensures that people do not tamper with equipment and assume they will get away with it. Outdoor building security needs the cameras to be protected. We will look at different applications and how we can help ensure critical infrastructure is secure.

Deploying Equipment in Seismic Zones
Seismic activity has caused many municipalities to enact requirements of mission-critical infrastructure. nVent has decades of experience in seismic areas and has developed products to meet the demanding needs of these areas. Join us as we look at some of the innovative solutions on the market to keep equipment safe in seismic zones.

Datacom: From Data Centers to Edge Computing
It has often been said that the mobile phones we have today had more computing power than the computer that landed the Apollo spacecraft on the moon. Dr. Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel, stated that semiconductor transistor speed is doubling every 18 to 24 months. Today we have become dependent upon electronics, and the more we consume, the more infrastructure needs to be in place to support the demand. We will look at trends and how nVent is positioned to help the infrastructure need.

Fiber to the Exchange, Fiber to the Home
Remote offices, remote schools, and orders to stay at home have taxed the infrastructure in many communities. The increased bandwidth needs have prompted many to upgrade their home service prompting the data vendors to upgrade and expand their networks. Fiber optic cables that deliver high-speed data service are now becoming the norm in many major cities. We will look at the challenges and infrastructure necessary to bring fiber to the home.

5G and Where We Fit in the Telecomm Market
How 5G works, how it works in conjunction with the existing 4G network, and how nVent products complement and protect the equipment that is the backbone of the systems. The future of communication and the internet continues to evolve. 5G is the latest iteration of the network that carries the packets and signals from one device to another.

Emerging Trends in Data Communications Applications
Data communications bandwidth has never been as utilized as it has, since the onset of so many people working remotely. We will look at the trends and directions that this global shakeup in the workforce has set in motion and the need for a robust infrastructure to support it.
