  1. Power System Engineering Want to own your Customer’s Power System?

  2. PSE Helps You Own the Power System – Then What? • LEVERAGE • EVERY $1 in PSE that you sell equates to $8 in Pull-Through Products/Services • Customers come to you without BIDDING! • 75% of the PSE pull-through comes without hitting the street • Your Solutions Provider reputation increases! • PSE takes the system view, with customer economic benefit as primary driver

  3. What sets PSE above the competition? • Credentials • Engineers recognized as Industry Experts • Local and National IEEE Leadership & Knowledge • Registered Professional Engineers, Licensed Engineering Firm • Experience and Expertise • Square D has been doing studies since 1966 • History since 1998: 7000+ studies, 750+ assessments/turnkey projects • Innovative analysis tools & methodologies, applied consistently across US • Regional Locations • Regional PSE Engineers deployed strategically across US – all time zones • Knowledge of local markets, codes, and AHJs

  4. Power System Engineering Offers • Power System Assessments • Short Circuit Studies • Overcurrent Coordination Studies • Arc Flash Studies • Load Flow, Circuit Capacity Studies • Grounding and Ground Fault Analysis • Power Quality Troubleshooting • Power Factor and Harmonics Analysis • Onsite Testing & Data Collection • Motor Starting Studies • Consulting, Analysis and Design Power System Onsite Assessments & Troubleshooting Power System Studies & Analysis Power System Improvement Projects

  5. Credentials Registered Professional Engineers, Licensed Engineering Firm Performed thousands of power system studies Backgrounds include EE, ME; many advanced degrees Industry recognized professionals who have authored many technical articles Present and past leaders of various IEEE, IEC, ANSI, NEMA & UL committees and working groups Power System Engineers Power System Engineering Team 40

  6. “We Want to Comply with NFPA 70E”

  7. New NFPA 70E-2009 Released • NFPA Standards Council issued 70E-2009 in July 2008, not widely available until late 2008 • Maintains ‘mandatory’ language of a consensus standard • Represents results of over 500 proposals, 800 comments on previous 70E-2004 version • Many wording changes throughout document; described as ‘same intent’, but changed for clarity • PSE processes, methodologies, reports, labels, fully compliant with new version 2009 – Now’s the Time!

  8. Key Changes to NFPA 70E-2009 • Category 0/1 threshold– now 1.2 cal/cm2 vs former 2.0 cal/cm2 • Ear plugs at all categories, not just >Category 2 • Analysis cut-off point changed - was <240V and <10kA; now 240V or less served by single transformer <125 kVA • Labeling now requires PPE category or incident energy level • Analysis to be updated at time of renovation and reviewed periodically not to exceed every 5 years • Emphasis on maintenance and testing • Emphasis on equipment integrity – ‘exposure to electrical hazard’ vs ‘working on or near exposed parts’

  9. Construction Studies – Value! • Verify equipment ratings • Short-circuit analysis results • Value engineer project • Head off project problems due to unusual or less optimal designs • Identify protective coordination issues • Ensure selectivity • NEC Article 700/701 support (e.g. – Healthcare Projects) • Get the right BOM to satisfy special coordination requirements • Arc flash analysis • Calculate exposure levels, identify arc flash mitigation opportunities Use Our Updated Specs! Sales & Marketing home page, then Services, Power System Engineering

  10. 2009 Key Offers • Arc flash compliance – 2009, Now’s the Time! • PSE methodologies already updated to 70E-2009 standards • Customers should update old studies • To 2009 standards • If renovations have been made, or if study >5 yrs old • Arc-flash reduction techniques can reduce exposure • Construction studies – Value-based and customer focused • Have you tried Square D – lately? • Healthcare Risk Assessments • ID power system deficiencies, prioritize improvements • Power System Improvement Projects • Help customer optimize scarce refurbishment dollars • Power Quality Testing and Troubleshooting • Don’t let power problems fester, call the experts

  11. Whom to Contact? • PSE / Regional Engineer • Principal Engineer • Eddie Jones / Janet Powell
