“Ferraz Shawmut is recognized as an industry leader in arc flash and is a platinum member of IEEE and NFPA’s joint committee for arc flash research,” said Kent Walker, Vice President of Technical Sales & Support. “It’s natural that customers began asking us to assist them with their arc flash hazard analysis, employee safety program development, and other electrical safety initiatives.”
