On average, 5 to 10 arc flash events occur in electrical equipment per say in the U.S. These events can be devastating to personnel and productivity. Mitigation tactics like PPE, following OSHA and NFPA safe work practices and implementing NEC installation standards can help decrease the chances of one of these dangerous events occuring at your facility. You'll learn about Prevention, Avoidance, Reduction and Containment solutions and how to integrate these into your existing safety practices.
Learning Objectives
Identify key system parameters that influence arc-flash incident energy calculations
Determine how equipment construction can affect calculated arc-flash levels
Identify arc-flash solution categories and how they affect the hazard
Apply a systemic approach to evaluating a system and developing an arc-flash mitigation strategy
