Why Voltage Adaptation Isn’t Enough
Many international manufacturers assume that using a transformer is sufficient for North American markets. However, safety standards like NFPA 70 (NEC) and CSA C22.2 demand a comprehensive design approach.
Key Compliance Factors:
- SCCR (Short-Circuit Current Rating): Must match or exceed the available fault current at the site. Incorrect calculations are the #1 cause of red tags.
- UL/CSA Listed Components: As a Lovato Electric OEM manufacturer, AID TECH ensures all power circuit components meet rigorous North American standards.
- NEMA Environmental Ratings: Selecting the right enclosure (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, or 4X) based on local operating conditions.
Early alignment with a UL 508A certified partner like AID TECH prevents expensive on-site retrofits.
