Protective Device Coordination the Easy Way, 4-Part Webinar Series

Protective Device Coordination the Easy Way Webinar Series is a four-part series that covers the definition and focus of selective device coordination, TCC plots for comparing performance loads and OCPD, fuses and breakers with NEC 2020 requirements, protective relays, and ground fault protection.

In this first of a 4-part series titled Protective Device Coordination the Easy Way, Jim Chastain from EasyPower covers the definition and focus of selective device coordination, TCC plots for comparing performance loads and OCPD, and EasyPower display controls to customize for specific focus.

In the second installment of a 4-part series titled Protective Device Coordination the Easy Way, Jim Chastain from EasyPower discusses fuse ratings, coordination rules of thumb using TCCs to confirm coordination of different manufacturers, current-limiting fuse energy let-through versus TCC plotting, and arc flash calculations using fuses. The following topics will also be discussed: NEC requirements for service equipment, and how to use EasyPower to identify and compare device performance.

In the third presentation of a 4-part series titled Protective Device Coordination the Easy Way, Jim Chastain from EasyPower focuses on breaker types based on trip mechanisms, series rating, and molded case circuit breakers for selective device coordination to determine constraints for time and current. The following topics are also discussed: LVPCB, Solid State trip, TCC plots – long term, short term, and instantaneous adjustments.

In the concluding session of the 4-part series titled Protective Device Coordination the Easy Way, Jim Chastain from EasyPower covers information on relay protection schemes, ground fault protection, transformer protection, differentials, arc sensing, TCC controls, and hard-grounded systems versus resistance ground.
