Avoid common mistakes in control panel design according to UL 508A

There are often challenges when it comes to verifying control panel designs according to the North American standard UL 508A — especially if you typically design to European standards. In this webinar, you'll get tips on how to avoid the common mistakes that can occur when designing control panels to UL 508A.

The requirements of UL 508A differ significantly from those of IEC 60204-1, which we work with here in Europe, and it's not always easy to get up to speed on these different UL 508A requirements. Electrical engineers who are accustomed to working with IEC 60204-1 often find it difficult to navigate the UL 508A requirements, which can cost a great deal of time and cause quite a few headaches. During the webinar, we'll walk through some common mistakes, guiding electrical engineers to think correctly and avoid these typical pitfalls.

You'll gain insight and knowledge into why it's important to label the panel with the correct supply voltage, why it's critical to verify that products are certified for the correct application, and why it's essential to understand the distinction between branch circuit and feeder circuit. Additionally, you'll learn how SCCR (Short-Circuit Current Rating) calculations are performed according to UL 508A — so you can spec this correctly for your panel.
