The Future of Electrical Work Is Here: Inside Schneider at NECA 2025

Video Description

I stopped by the Schneider Electric booth at NECA Chicago to see what’s new for contractors and facility folks. We dug into three setups that can cut install time, save wall space, and keep equipment protected. First up is the Integrated Power Center (IPC2), which packages a low-voltage transformer with panelboards in a compact, factory-wired structure, ideal when electrical room real estate is tight. We also looked at the Mini Power-Zone, a wall-mounted unit substation that combines a primary disconnect, transformer, secondary main, and branch distribution in one enclosure. It is available in single- and three-phase options and is designed to get small loads online quickly. For standby power, we checked out the ASCO Series 300 transfer switch feature called Predictive Outage Detection. It senses unstable conditions like flicker, then can pre-start the generator or transfer to protect sensitive loads and minimize downtime. Finally, we covered continuous thermal monitoring at transformer terminations. Schneider’s solution can watch primary, secondary, and tap points and feed data into Power Monitoring Expert dashboards for alarms and analytics, so issues get caught before they become failures. 🙏 Thanks to our sponsor, Schneider Electric, for supporting this video.
