Upcoming Webinars
The Gund Company is excited to host an important webinar specifically designed for data centers. Our Senior Technical Fellow, Solomon Chiang, will introduce NEMA IM 60005-2025, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association guidelines for insulating materials commonly used in data centers. Applications include transformers, switchgear, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), energy storage systems, wires, cables, and more.
Our webinar will also discuss the significance of using materials with high Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) ratings. We will share best practice insights on utilizing insulation materials in data centers to improve laminar airflow and minimize turbulence.
