WORKSHOP
Panel Builder Series: Feeder and Branch Circuit Design
Explore the basics for selecting Feeder and Motor Branch Circuit protection devices for US Industrial Control Panels.
This workshop first introduces attendees to the requirements of US electrical standards for Feeder and motor Branch Circuits. It will then be the step-by-step process to determine components to meet those standards. Next, we will cover the impact of component selection based on the available supply voltage and required SCCR. Attendees will also be shown several ways to improve their solution for OEM / Panel shops and End Users.
The workshop includes a live demonstration where we will select the components for 2 motor branch circuits to enhance their design and the feeder protective device using provided hardware and documentation.
