EMP Customer Training: NFPA 70B – Electrical Equipment Maintenance This session provides a clear and practical look at the 2023 NFPA 70B Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance and how it impacts electrical safety programs. In under an hour, participants will learn: - The Electrical Circle of Safety and how OSHA, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 70B work together. - The transition of NFPA 70B from a Recommended Practice to a binding Standard. - How to build and implement an Electrical Maintenance Program (EMP). - Key factors that determine the Frequency of Maintenance (FOM), including field variables and equipment constants. - The role of continuous monitoring, infrared scanning, IR windows, and spare parts as predictive maintenance techniques. - Documentation, compliance, and best practices for maintaining safe, reliable systems. This training is designed for facility managers, safety leaders, and maintenance professionals who want to better understand how NFPA 70B affects compliance, safety, and reliability. Refreshments will be served.

Marx generators are very popular for applications requiring high-voltage pulsed power supply (HVPPS), spanning military systems (such as radar and electromagnetic pulse generators), medical treatments (e.g., non-thermal tumor ablation), environmental technologies (e.g., ozone generation and wastewater treatment), high-energy physics, high-power microwave (HPM) systems, and material processing. Traditionally, Marx generators used spark-gap switches, which ionize air to create a conductive path for pulse generation. While effective for initial applications, spark-gap systems have limitations, including low repetition rates due to ionization and cooling delays, inconsistent pulse shaping, and frequent maintenance due to electrode erosion. To address these constraints, solid-state Marx generators (SSMGs) were developed, using semiconductor switches like MOSFETs and IGBTs. SSMGs allow pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) up to hundreds of kHz, which are crucial for high-demand modern applications, especially in HPM systems where rapid, repetitive power pulses are essential. SSMGs also enable precise pulse modulation, offering tunable characteristics such as width and polarity, while eliminating the wear associated with spark-gap systems. This talk will reflect on the evolution of Marx generators from spark gap devices to solid state devices, and how the operation of Marx generators can be improved with superior voltage regulation and minimized charging current peak from the input power supply.
