NFPA 70B

To be quoted

NFPA 70B outlines recommended procedures, inspection methods, and testing intervals for a wide range of electrical equipment—including switchgear, transformers, motors, circuit breakers, protective devices, and cord-and-plug-connected equipment. The standard promotes condition-based maintenance, emphasizing that maintenance frequency should reflect equipment condition, environment, duty cycle, and criticality.

We have options for onsite training or virtual training.
