UL 508 and NEC Code Updates for SCCR

Recent updates to the UL 508 and NEC codes have put a greater emphasis on making sure that electrical panels can maintain their integrity under major fault conditions. The safety of the system is determined by the short-circuit current rating (SCCR) of the panel, in conjunction with the available fault current where the panel is located. Local inspectors must now make sure the SCCR meets or exceeds the available fault current before they can approve a panel to be used. This makes it more important than ever to make sure your panel is designed properly, so that it meets the SCCR requirements, while not being over-engineered.


Smart Sensors and IOT: Lining Up the Pros and Cons

Sensors are essential in capturing basic diagnostics from industrial machines and equipment. However, as the people maintaining these machines near retirement, a new, younger workforce is emerging.

And while this new generation is comfortable with rapidly evolving manufacturing technology and the data that comes with it, they are not necessarily as in tune with the equipment as the seasoned staff.

It will be key to manufacturer's success to capture contextual data to provide more predictive diagnostics and leverage data across the manufacturing enterprise.

Smart sensing technology is fulfilling this need, bringing deeper insight into the health of industrial machines to help current - and future - generations of operators optimize plant processes.

While smart sensors offer key insights into a manufacturing operation, it's not necessary for all sensors to be enabled with this technology. It's important to know where and when to implement smart sensing capabilities.


Protect Yourself from the Environment with the Proper Enclosure

Over the course of the last few months, we have all been drawn to the devastation that has occurred due to the hurricanes. While we live in the Midwest and don't typically have to worry about hurricanes; we do have customers that reside in these areas and we also have our own internal and external environmental conditions where protection is needed.

2017 NFPA 70E Courses

Each year, electrical dangers in the workplace cause hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries. NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace® -- the Standard originally developed at OSHA's request -- is the key to saving lives, reducing liability, and avoiding loss due to electrical incidents. 

Revere is offering a three (3) hour and an eight (8) hour course on 2018 NFPA 70E.  

The eight hour course provides a thorough knowledge of the dangers and recommended safe behaviors for those who work daily around electrical hazards. This course goes into examples of real life application to give attendees a complete understanding of regulations regarding electrical and arc flash safety and how to apply them in the field.

The three hour course provides guidance for employers to help workers avoid injury from a release of electrical energy, and prevent or minimize exposure to all widely recognized electrical hazards. This course covers the changes to the 2018 edition, and is intended to aid in updating your electrical safety program, associated documents and work practices.
