Webinars

We look at some of the changes and proposed changes to common standards that affect industrial control panels.

NFPA publishes reports documenting how many people every year are injured or perish from electrical safety incidents in the workplace. In this webinar, we will review some of the best practices as documented in NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 and look at how nVent HOFFMAN is providing products for a safer workplace.

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.

We have seen unprecedented supply chain disruptions affecting labor sourcing and costs throughout the world. Join us on April 21, 2022, to discuss trends and steps nVent is taking to help panel builders address these issues.

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. 

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.

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.

Using cheap or improper materials in a corrosive environment can not only lead to premature failure but add substantial costs of repair, maintenance, or replacement to keep your operations running.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

Join our panel of technical experts as they answer your questions about food & beverage best practices and the IP69K rating.

Our panel of technical experts answers your questions about hazardous location standards, and material selection to minimize the effects of corrosive atmospheres on enclosures and the components they protect.

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.

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.

Everything changes with time, including equipment and safety standards. Join us as we look toward some of the recent changes in standards that affect industrial control panels and working around them.

Join our panel of technical experts as they answer your questions about Remote Access Control and Interconnectivity in Industrial Environments.

Join our panel of technical experts as they answer your questions about Industrial Cooling.

Join us as we discuss the effects of heat on components, we will go through a tool to help you determine what your cost of downtime is (based on your specific inputs), and help you understand the cooling tool we have available to help you choose the right cooling product for your application.
