Renewable Power Generation
The push for renewable energy across the globe has created opportunities for everyone to rethink their actions and consumption. The need for more power to be fed to the power grid is exploding as the desire for electric vehicles will exponentially increase the power draw. Join us as we talk about trends in the market regarding renewable power generation.
Know the Three Levels of Hygienic Design Protection with Mettler Toledo
Food production requires safety procedures to protect the consumer from contamination. Many standards are in place in countries around the world. In this webinar, we will be joined by colleagues from Mettler-Toledo to look at some of the standards and talk about them in plain language.
Minimizing Downtime with Thermal Audits
Heat is the silent killer of electronics. Control cabinets have components that overheat and cause production lines to shut down. Unplanned downtime on any production line costs producers money. In this webinar, we will talk about how nVent HOFFMAN personnel can help you audit the heat levels in the control cabinets in your facilities.
Trends in Automotive and E-Mobility for Manufacturing
The shift from ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles to EV vehicles is driving major transformation in the automotive industry. This evolution affects OEMs, tier 1-3 suppliers, panel shops, tool and die manufactures and system integrators. Join nVent HOFFMAN as we discuss the trends to protect electronics and systems in: auto, tire production, EV infrastructure, and battery assembly environments. Learn best practices and software solutions that will help design systems for efficient implementation – ensuring your equipment and people are properly connected and protected.

Extreme Environments Need Extreme Defense
Rain. Snow. Sleet. Wind, Hail. Salt Spray. Acids. Alkalis. Solvents. Controls need to operate no matter where they are deployed, regardless of how extreme the environment. Making sure controls are enclosed in easily accessed control cabinets with confidence they will stay protected is the desire of engineers and maintenance personnel alike. Join us as we look at some of the challenges faced, and the solutions proposed for these applications.
Simplifying Working Safely: Joint Webinar with Panduit and Rockwell Automation
To mitigate risk in electrical applications, it is imperative to simplify the process of working safely on enclosures. OSHA 29 CFR 1910, subpart S, and NFPA 70E recognizes arc flash as a known Hazard, and charges employers to keep their workers safe. Join Panduit, nVent HOFFMAN and Rockwell Automation as we will address engineering controls that isolate and disconnect line voltage, and verify absence of voltage in the control enclosure. Together, Panduit , nVent HOFFMAN and Rockwell Automation create solutions that help to improve safety, increase reliability, and ensure uptime in a variety of Industrial applications.
Industrial Electrical Safety
NFPA publishes reports documenting how many people every year are injured or perish from electrical safety incidents in the workplace. In this webinar, we will review some of the best practices as documented in NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 and look at how nVent HOFFMAN is providing products for a safer workplace.
Food Grade Ratings for Food Processing Equipment
Public health has become a major focus around the world with the focus on preventing the spread of diseases. In many countries, policies for food safety have been in place for decades, some have been more recent, and some have very little regulation. In this webinar we will compare food safety regulations in three different countries to show similarities.
Oil and Gas Applications
When working in oil and gas areas it is imperative to remove one of the three elements of the fire triangle from enclosures housing electronics. In this webinar, we will be talking about ATEX, IECex, AEX (NEC505), and NEC500. All of these seek to add safety to working environments and prevent explosions, but they do so with different definitions. Large Oil and Gas producers often adopt one set of regulations worldwide so when their workers show up on a site, they do not have to question which set of regulations they are working with.
Effects of Heat on Industrial Cabinets
Electronics are sensitive to heat. As control panels become smarter, more electronic devices make their way into the protected environment of the control enclosure. In this webinar, we will look at the effects of heat on components in the control cabinet and where that heat is generated. We will also propose ways to minimize the heat and prolong system uptime.
Residential Solar Applications
As alternative energy sources gain more traction, people are beginning to see the need for standards that keep homeowners and their property safe. In this evolving area of consumer demand, the photovoltaic installation needs to be done with the care and concern of the homeowner in mind. Join us as we look at this blossoming new opportunity to generate clean energy.
2021 INDUSTRIAL WEBINARS
Protecting Equipment in Highly Corrosive Environments
From coastal applications to fertilizer manufacturing to cleaning solutions in a food application, automation controls need to be protected. What are the right materials for the enclosure? How do we cool it down to prevent catastrophic failure? These and other questions will be addressed in this webinar.
Power and Utilities
Enclosures form the backbone of power distribution to homes, schools, businesses, and everywhere there is a light or power outlet. In multi-tenant buildings, there is a need for current transformer cabinets to split the power to the meters the determine proper billing based on usage. Utility junction cabinets bring power to residential neighborhoods. With the new initiative of “The Electrification of Everything,” this demand will continue to grow.
ATEX, IECex, and AEX Certifications
With the global adoption of IECex in many countries worldwide, there has been a push to get the US on board to minimize confusion in Hazardous locations. We will go through IECex, ATEX, and the NEC 505 AEX to show how far the efforts to harmonize standards have come.
Active Cooling and Passive Cooling in Industrial Enclosures
Overheating of electrical equipment shortens life and could lead to catastrophic failure. When seasons turn from cooler to warmer, the need for industrial cooling increases. In this webinar we will look at determining the surface area required to dissipate heat generated by internal electrical equipment, allowing us to understand the temperature rise inside the enclosure.
Labor Savings Efforts to Keep New Construction Projects On-Time and On-Budget
Qualified personnel are a company’s greatest asset. Keeping employees working efficiently on the parts of their job that are most valuable, is good for both workers and the company. Join nVent HOFFMAN and nVent CADDY to learn about current market trends and discover how our innovative solutions provide on-the-job labor savings.
Water Wastewater Applications
In every community, there is a need for potable water. In every community, there is a need to sanitize the wastewater so it does not negatively impact the environment. Municipalities rely on their utility department to reliably manage Sanitary/Sewer Systems and keep the public safe. We will look at some of the challenges they face and provide some potential answers to some of those challenges.
Hygienic Food Processing - Keeping Food Safe
Equipment used in the processing of food and beverages must be sterilized before and remain sterile during production. When designing processing equipment there are many basic requirements to consider: the equipment must have the capability of being cleaned thoroughly, and it is highly advantageous to carry a food-grade rating.
Drawing File Preparation Tips & Guidance
Tips & guidance on the best ways to format and send drawings in order to ensure drawings are approved as quickly as possible. Join our panel of technical experts as they answer your questions about what needs to be on a drawing when it is initially submitted to avoid delays.
Effectively Reducing Downtime in Manufacturing & Processing Applications
Join us as we discuss the effects of heat on components, we will go through a tool to help you determine what your cost of downtime is (based on your specific inputs), and help you understand the cooling tool we have available to help you choose the right cooling product for your application.
