Our NFPA 79 Training course is a practical, code-based guide to the 2024 Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery. It covers disconnecting means, short-circuit current rating (SCCR), overcurrent and surge protection, grounding and bonding, control circuits, safety functions, wiring practices, marking, documentation and testing.
This 12 hour instructor-led training course turns the 2024 requirements into decisions you can apply on the plant floor and in the panel shop. You’ll work through SCCR, conductor sizing and inspection exercises based on real machines.
Industrial machines fail inspections, injure workers and cause expensive downtime when their electrical equipment is poorly designed, wired or modified. Undersized conductors, a missing or incorrect SCCR, weak grounding and improperly designed emergency stop circuits are among the most common findings by inspectors and third-party evaluators.
NFPA 79 is the standard that the NEC (Article 670), OSHA and authorities having jurisdiction rely on for the electrical equipment of industrial machines. It works alongside UL 508A for industrial control panels, NFPA 70E for safe work practices, NFPA 70B for maintenance, and IEC 60204-1 and CSA C22.2 No. 301 for machines shipped internationally.
The course concentrates on four areas:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Participants receive a certificate of completion and PDF course materials.
This course is instructor-led and grounded in the code. Every module ties a requirement in the standard to a practical decision about design, inspection or maintenance.
Worked examples, live polls and short exercises reinforce each topic. Exercises include an SCCR calculation, conductor and overcurrent sizing, and a machine inspection checklist.
Participants leave with checklists and reference material they can use immediately on their own machines and control panels.
