Electric underground distribution system is generally more reliable than overhead because it is not exposed to the severe weather events round the year. However, it is still prone to failures from corrosion, mechanical issues, animal intrusion to name a few. While the number of failures is typically much less the duration of outages are much longer when compared to that for overhead. What is the best approach to minimize impact of an outage? Automate and implement FLISR system wide or retrofit monitoring or do both? In this presentation we will examine the various approaches.

Updated every three years, the National Electrical Code® (NEC) is a crucial guide that details safety measures and regulations in the ever-evolving electrical industry. In the 2023 edition of the NEC, there are several important changes for commercial and industrial buildings that require a change to standard design and installation practices. In this webinar, we’ll dive into those key changes and what they mean for electrical contractors, installers, designers, and inspectors. -Register on the EC&M page.
