Summary

Join us for the topic that plays a key part in ensuring we have reliable, available and safe power to our Buildings, Datacenters, Industry and Infrastructure type projects. With the increase demand that we now have on the Electrical distribution network installations, it’s more important than ever, to ensure the low voltage circuit protection meets those needs.

Our group of presenters brings together experience and technical knowledge from the low voltage industry, providing a balanced perspective across the different aspects of circuit protection – from design to technology. The webinar offers an opportunity to learn from our subject matter expert’s and market leaders, on such a topic.

To help you better understand this technical subject, we will cover the following main topics:

  • Electrical Standards & Market requirements
  • Discrimination & Cascading definitions
  • Application example & design approach
  • LV Breaker technology and its value-added contribution to circuit protection

You will gain valuable insights and walk away with a better understanding of LV circuit protection design considerations, that is matched to the demand of the application, as the world becomes more electric, more digital, more decentralised, and more decarbonised.
