Manual racking of medium voltage circuit breakers (MVCBs), ranging from 1 kV to 38 kV, poses significant safety risks—including arc flash exposure, electrical shock, and mechanical failure. For electrical OEMs, these risks not only impact end-user safety but also influence product design, compliance, and customer satisfaction.

This webinar explores how remote racking technology empowers OEMs to deliver safer, smarter, and more competitive switchgear solutions. Learn how integrating remote racking into your offerings can help reduce operational hazards, support regulatory compliance, and enhance the value of your medium voltage systems.

What You’ll Learn

• Hazards Associated with Manual Racking
• Overview of Remote Racking Technology
• Key Benefits for Electrical OEMs

Discover how smart automation is reshaping low-voltage electrical systems. This webinar dives into three essential functions—power control, load shedding, and automatic throw-over (ATO)—and shows how OEMs can simplify system design and boost reliability by integrating these capabilities directly into the system’s circuit breakers. This session highlights how these technologies improve energy efficiency, protect critical loads, and reduce operational costs—while enabling smarter, more compact panel designs.

Key Objectives

• Understand the operation and real-world applications of power control, load shedding, and ATO in low-voltage installations
• Explore the benefits: energy savings, protection of critical loads, and operational cost reduction.
• Learn how to integrate these functions into circuit breakers to streamline design, reduce components, and increase system reliability.

Microgrids are transforming the energy landscape with their ability to operate independently or alongside the main utility grid—delivering localized generation, storage, and distribution. For electrical OEMs, this shift presents a strategic opportunity to design smarter, more resilient systems that meet the growing demand for energy independence and sustainability.

In this webinar, discover how advanced power and control solutions can help OEMs enhance microgrid reliability, streamline system integration, and deliver differentiated value to utility and industrial customers. Learn how to leverage technologies to improve protection, optimize energy efficiency, and enable intelligent monitoring—all while reducing complexity and cost.

Key Objectives

• Explore how advanced protection and flexible power quality solutions support continuous microgrid operation.
• Understand how increased energy efficiency translates into lower operational costs and stronger sustainability outcomes.
• Learn how enhanced metering and communication capabilities enable proactive performance management and smarter system design for OEMs.
