The conference featured keynotes, sessions, special events, and technical certification exams. Paul Grein of Circuit Breaker Sales was among the speakers with his presentation “How to Effectively Implement PEARL Standards in your Business.” The interactive session provided logical and strategic recommendations for applying the PEARL – ANSI Electrical Equipment Reconditioning Standard. As part of the discussion, Grein helped attendees interpret National Electrical Code (NEC) reconditioning restrictions as well as when and how to use the inspect and test seal.
