History
It was founded in 1926 and maintains its
headquarters in Rosslyn, Virginia, in the
Washington metropolitan area.[7] Its
approximately 350[8] member companies[9]
manufacture products used in the
generation, transmission, distribution,
control, and end use of electricity. These
products are used in utility, industrial,
commercial, institutional, and residential
applications. The association’s Medical
Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA)
division represents manufacturers of
cutting-edge medical diagnostic imaging
equipment including MRI, CT, x-ray, and
ultrasound products.[6] Other major end
markets include building systems,
electrical infrastructure, industrial
systems, lighting systems and utility
systems.[10] Their combined industries
account for 360,000 American jobs in
more than 7,000 facilities in every state.[11]
Their industry produces $106 billion
shipments of electrical equipment and
medical imaging technologies per year
with $36 billion exports.[12] NEMA also has
offices in Mexico City.[13]
In addition to lobbying activities, NEMA
publishes more than 700 standards,[14]
application guides, white papers,[15] and
technical papers. Among its major
standards are those for electrical
enclosures, motors and magnet wire, AC
plugs and receptacles; the NEMA
connectors are universal in North America
and also used by some other countries.[16]
