Welcome to Evergy -2020 Service Standards Update
Speaker: Hayden Maples, Distribution Standards & Support Manager, Evergy
.2 CEU; $20 pp
Evergy is the result of a merger between Kansas City Power & Light and Westar Energy. One of the tasks associated with that merger was consolidating to a single Electric Service Standards book. This class will review the process for that combination, some of the key decision points, and how the document has evolved since the initial release. The discussion will also cover the highlights of the entire book to help everyone feel more comfortable with the direction of the combined company and standards.

Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Understanding Codes & Standards in Today's Data Centers
Speaker: Steven Boyles, Critical Power Systems Manager, APC
1 PDH; $10 pp
Lithium Ion batteries are the newest and most intriguing offer for battery systems on UPS in the market today. Offering unmatched performance and resiliency, a life expectancy rivaling flooded wet cells, lithium is an exciting technology. At the end of the presentation, the user will understand performance, footprint, and operational characteristics that make this an exciting and safe alternative to more traditional styles of batteries. Recent Codes and Standards have place what seem like severe limitations on lithium battery quantities in the data center. This presentation focuses on those standards, taking the confusion out of the language and the listings, and demonstrates solutions that overcome those restrictions placed by the recent standards adoption. At the end of this presentation, the user will understand with much greater clarity the codes and standards in the market affecting lithium batteries.

Surge Protective Devices
Speaker: Dan Maxcy, VP - Power Protection Products, Inc.
1 PDH; $10 pp
The National Electric Code continues to evolve towards electrical safety and people protection. There are now a variety of code references to surge protection requirements that are often overlooked in new and existing facility designs and upgrades. As more automation and technology is pushed into the production area, the need for surge protection devices continues to increase. This class will explain the need for surge suppression as it relates to electrical safety and the NEC code. You will learn HOW to apply surge protection, WHEN to apply Surge Protection, and WHERE to apply surge protection devices throughout your electrical system for facility and equipment protection as well as meeting current code requirements.
