As the population continues to grow, the need for clean water is ever-increasing. Water and Wastewater treatment facilities are crucial for public health and environmental protection. Treating water is energy-intensive and operates under demanding conditions. Things like reliability and energy efficiency are a must.

In this webinar, you will:

• Explore the challenges in the water and wastewater industry
• Understand what advanced motor starting and control do to create resilient and efficient solutions
• Learn what can be used for intelligent and digital-ready solutions

The rising energy demands across industries and utilities—combined with the growth of decentralized power generation—are pushing load levels and short circuit currents beyond the capabilities of existing electrical infrastructure, both in new facilities and in plants undergoing upgrades. At the same time, organizations face increasing pressure to respond quickly, yet traditional switchgear solutions are often too costly, slow to procure, or not technically suitable.

These factors create significant challenges as plants strive to meet new performance requirements while working within practical project constraints. Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) provide an effective solution by actively limiting fault currents and reducing the need for oversized equipment. This session explores the principles, applications, and economic advantages of using FCLs to modernize electrical systems efficiently.

From this webinar, you will be able to:

• Understand the impact of FCL technology
• Identify downsizing opportunities
• Evaluate economic and operational benefits
