CBT partner Baldor Electric Company will be featured in a Chemical Processing Magazine webinar at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, August 20. The webinar, Understanding NEMA and IEC Standards and Certifications for Hazardous Areas, will focus on the differences between NEMA and IEC motor standards and the terminology used by each authority for hazardous areas. According to Chemincal Processing Magazine, 26 percent of the global market uses NEMA low voltage motors, while the remaining 74 percent of the market uses IEC motors.
While these motors are physically different, operationally, these motors are fundamentally the same. NEMA and IEC motors can be suited for hazardous locations, but the terminology and nomenclature between the two organizations’ standards is vastly different.
Baldor Product Specialist for Severe Duty and Explosion Proof Motors Fred McCutchan and Baldor IEC Application Specialist Terry White will share their insight on NEMA and IEC motor characteristics, NEMA hazardous location standards and certifications, and IEC hazardous location standards and certifications. Understanding NEMA and IEC Standards and Certifications for Hazardous Areas is the latest in Chemical Processing Magazine’s CP Panel Discussion Series webinars. Register today to save your spot and learn about NEMA and IEC motor standards from the experts.
