Protecting Your Business, People and Equipment
In today’s business world, the protection of people, equipment, and investments is of utmost importance to maintain your competitive advantage. One way to ensure this protection is by using UL 891 listed switchboards like those manufactured by EPD in their Houston, Texas headquarters. UL 891 is a standard established by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global safety science organization. This standard specifies the construction and safety requirements for low voltage switchboards used in the electrical distribution of commercial and industrial buildings.
ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Here are several reasons why UL 891 listed low voltage switchboards are essential for
protecting your business, people, and equipment investments:
UL 891 listed switchboards are engineered, designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements, ensuring that they are safe to use.
They are equipped with a variety of safety features, such as grounding, over-current protection, short-circuit protection, surge protection and active arc flash detection amongst others.
These features help prevent electrical fires, reduce the risk of electrocution, and protect downstream equipment from damage.
UL 891 listed low voltage switchboards are made with high-quality materials and components, ensuring reliability.
Reliability is ensured by using individual components that are also UL listed and have therefore passed rigorous safety standards.
This typically translates into less downtime and fewer maintenance costs, helping to protect your business from the costs associated with equipment failure.
UL 891 listed switchboards are designed to optimize energy efficiency by monitoring consumer energy consumption, helping to reduce energy costs and increase the overall efficiency of your electrical system.
By monitoring each load, the user may make operational decisions to better align with overall business goals and objectives.
This improved energy usage insight can result in significant cost savings for your business over time.
By using UL 891 listed switchboards, you can be confident that your electrical system meets industry standards and safety requirements.
This helps to protect your business from liability and regulatory issues that can arise from non-compliant electrical systems.
Inspectors within the local jurisdiction in your area will want to confirm that the switchboard in your installation is UL listed to ensure that all safety standards are met.
UL 891 listed switchboards are designed with ease of maintenance and upgrades in mind.
This makes routine maintenance easy to perform and allows you to upgrade your electrical system as needed when planned correctly upfront, helping to protect your investments and ensure that your system continues to meet the needs of your business.
As your business energy consumption increases over time, a properly planned switchboard will allow you to expand in the most optimal way.
