CAHED Webinar - Power Systems Design Concepts for Healthcare

Speaker:
Peter Rossomando, Product Manager - ASCO Power Control Systems

Description:

Our upcoming webinar explores the elements of electrical infrastructure in Healthcare facilities, including key codes and standards such as NEC, NFPA, and UL, which ensure safety and compliance in design and operation. It distinguishes between essential and non-essential systems, emphasizing the importance of power resiliency for critical healthcare functions. The session also reviews the Life Safety, Critical, and Equipment Branches, outlining their specific designations and requirements per NFPA 99 and NEC Article 517. Attendees will gain insight into NFPA 99 Risk Categories, which guide system design based on the potential impact of failure on patient outcomes. The webinar also examines Power Control System topologies available for Healthcare applications and reviews testing requirements to maintain system reliability and regulatory compliance. We will also address the integration of renewable resources, such as solar and battery storage, into healthcare power systems to enhance sustainability and resilience.
