U.S. Compliant Switchboards | USA
Does your distribution panel/switchboard exported to the United States comply with safety standards?
Knowledge and expertise are indispensable to meet NEC and NFPA 79 requirements
Previously, electrical and industrial equipment could be exported to the United States of America if the parts used in the equipment met UL standards. However, the National Electrical Code (NEC), the US electrical standard NFPA 79 and UL 508A standard for industrial control panels require the Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) and limiting current value to be indicated on the equipment.
This is not easy to achieve. Meeting the requirements for these standards demands considerable knowledge and know-how, such as how to design the equipment and where and how ratings should be indicated.
Designers who specialize in equipment for semiconductor manufacturing, food and packaging, press machines and other industrial machinery may not know how best to respond when they receive this type of request from customers.
