Fault-Managed Power Systems: The Future of Safe, High-Efficiency DC Distribution (Webinar)

August 28, 2025

WHEN: September 3, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (EST)
WHERE: Virtual

Presented by Bolis Ibrahim
President at Cence Power, Inc.

The shift toward DC power distribution is transforming modern buildings, telecom, and data centers—but safety and efficiency remain critical challenges. Electrical contractors today face growing demands for higher-voltage DC systems without compromising reliability or code compliance.

Join ECAO and Cence Power for an in-depth webinar exploring how fault-managed power systems provide a smarter, safer way to deliver DC power. Attendees will gain actionable insights into:

  • DC power distribution versus AC power distribution (under 600 V)
    • The shift toward DC loads: Why modern buildings are already largely DC on the inside
  • Class 2, low-voltage distribution (up to 60 V, 100 W)
    • Centralized versus decentralized AC-to-DC power conversion
    • Lighting case study
      • UL 2108 “Low-voltage lighting systems”
      • UL 916 “Energy management equipment”
  • Class 4 fault-managed power systems (up to 450 VDC)
    • Applications: telecom and data centres
    • Electrical code and safety certifications
      • NEC Article 726 “Class 4 fault-managed power systems”
      • CSA Standards (coming soon)
      • UL 1400-1 “Outline of investigation for fault-managed power systems, Part 1: safety requirements” and UL 1400-2 “Outline of investigation for fault-managed power systems, Part 2: requirements for cables”
