Overview

Article 409 for Industrial Control Panels in the 2005 Edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) drew increased attention to installations of industrial control panels. Industrial control panels (ICPs) with the UL Mark are installable to the NEC and have a distinct competitive edge in the marketplace.

UL Solutions offers training in constructing industrial control panels in accordance with UL 508A.

The workshop focuses on how to construct general use industrial control panels in accordance with the Standard for Industrial Control Panels, UL 508A, 3rd Edition. It covers UL 508A, general use ICP construction, power circuit, control circuit, rating and marking requirements, sections 1-61; enclosure construction requirements, sections 62-64; standards for components, Appendix A; use of non-UL Solutions components, Appendix B; and component usage, Appendix C.

A critical part of the training includes how to establish short-circuit ratings for individual industrial control panels in accordance with the requirements outlined in the new Standard for Industrial Control Panels, UL 508A, 3rd Edition, Supplement SB.  This supplement is the only method specifically noted as being recognized by the NEC.

All registrations include access to the UL 508A manufacturer technical representation (MTR) qualification exam.
