Industrial Machines With NFPA 79
Course Description: This course has proven to be a valuable tool for
those who work with industrial machines and control panels. It answers
several questions for maintenance and construction personnel including
design criteria. Issues such as identification and control panel
requirements for conductors, overcurrent protection, grounding,
bonding, shielding, disconnects, interlocks and differential system
voltages are covered in this course. Each course relates to an
electrical safety hazard applied to warn the electrical worker that a
potential electrical hazard exists. This course makes the worker aware
of deficiencies that should be corrected immediately.
