Misconceptions of Shock Safety

Littelfuse surveyed people who work on electrical equipment and asked them about their experiences, training, and protection methods. During this safety month webcast, we will share key findings from the survey, misconceptions of electrical shock in the workplace, the importance of risk assessments, and areas to improve safety training

Littelfuse Products are Found Throughout your Plant Floor

Littelfuse is found throughout a manufacturing plant protecting pumps, motors, small and large drives, switchgear and distribution panels that distribute the power to your operations. We are also safeguarding workers from shock with an industrial GFCI and from arc flash with our arc-flash relays.

Case Study

Learn how one customer narrowly avoided nearly $1 million in damages and months of downtime.

Tim Deschamp from Evans Enterprises, Tulsa, Oklahoma, was working with a customer to help them resolve and reduce a critical issue with an electrical hazard in their furnace control room. An earlier arc-flash analysis had determined that one 480-volt cabinet, which was fed from a 3500 kVA transformer, exceeded an arc-flash Hazard Risk Category 4 (HRC).

Sizing a Neutral Grounding Resistor

One of the most critical decisions when designing stable and safe electrical systems is system grounding. The key parameter that determines the neutral grounding resistor’s affect on the circuit is the let-through current. This video will focus on how to determine what level of let-through current to specify when designing a resistance-grounded system.

White Paper: Ground Fault Protection and VFDs

Death and injuries make ground (earth) faults one of the most essential hazards to mitigate. High-resistance grounding provides significant protection for equipment and personnel. Unfortunately, when variable frequency drives (VFDs) are used in resistance-grounded systems, the system may not be able to effectively detect low-level ground faults unless the equipment is adjusted accordingly. This paper explains why using VFDs in high-resistance grounding systems can be problematic and provides an in-depth discussion of how they can be overcome.

Gain New Insights into Increasing SCCR

Available fault currents are increasing in industrial facilities due to a continuously increasing demand for electric power. When available fault currents at the equipment exceed the control panel’s short circuit current rating (SCCR), there can be catastrophic results. Learn how to calculate and increase the SCCR using the popular method outlined in UL 508A Supplement S-B.
