Today we know that NFPA 70B has been a standard since 2023 [NFPA 70B, which addresses preventive maintenance for electrical equipment, has been around since 1975. Initially, it was adopted as a recommended practice, but it officially transitioned to a standard on January 1, 2023. This standard documents the requirements for an electrical maintenance program (EMP) in section 4.2.4.2, This section details the required documentation, safety, training, and timing, to perform maintenance on your electrical distribution equipment. All documented tasks within an EMP must be stored for review and future use.

Now with document storage in a cloud-based system in place, what are the next steps to address continuous improvement and corrective measures in your EMP. 

How can we build it safer today, and what can we do to our existing electrical distribution equipment for safer maintenance and to increase its overall reliability.

This session will provide an understanding of:

• * How new installations can be designed and built for safety and easier maintenance.
• * Why maintenance and testing are a must.
• * How modernization can help with EMP compliance and lead to a safer and more reliable electrical distribution system.
