Overview :
This webinar is designed to alert maintenance electrical personnel in all industries of the proposed changes to NFPA 70B.
2016 NFPA 70B: Electrical Equipment Maintenance provides guidelines for developing and implementing an effective Electrical Preventive Maintenance (EPM) program for all types of equipment and assemblies. Changes help you guard against electrical incidents and system failures. New torque requirements minimize risks related to poor connections, which have the potential to cause overheating, intermittent open circuits, and electrical arcs. Enhanced battery testing and maintenance requirements provide greater detail about battery testing and safety considerations.
Loose connections are a significant contributor to maintenance issues. That's why the 2016 edition of NFPA 70B includes new torque requirements that help minimize risks related to poor connections, which have the potential to cause overheating, intermittent open circuits, and electrical arcs. In another change, enhanced battery testing and maintenance requirements provide greater detail about battery testing and safety considerations for anyone performing battery maintenance. Batteries are part of many electrical systems and some are critical to power systems involved in life safety.
Why Should You Attend :
Equipment maintenance impacts personal safety, production downtime and the cost of repairs. NFPA 70B works hand-in-hand with NFPA 70E® to help protect workers, machinery and equipment.
NFPA 70B details preventive maintenance for electrical, electronic, and communication systems and equipment -- such as those used in industrial plants, institutional and commercial buildings, and large multi-family residential complexes -- to prevent equipment failures and worker injuries. Attend this webinar to learn more about NFPA 70B.
The Standard explains why an effective Electrical Preventive Maintenance (EPM) Program is essential to protect lives and property, how to plan and develop an EPM, protection for maintenance personnel, and guidance concerning all types of equipment and assemblies.
