Arc flash accidents happen every day in North America and some with disastrous results. Have you taken the steps to understand the potential your electrical system has for injuring you or your employees and equipment??
Arc flash/short circuit training is essential for understanding your equipment and how to mitigate any potential arc flash hazard problems.
Far too often, plant electrical systems go through changes without serious attention paid to short circuit levels and equipment ratings. Even new buildings and installations are not immune to short circuit problems. The results can be expensive at best, disastrous at worst! Understanding how to conduct a short circuit study can reduce the risk your company faces and help avoid catastrophic arc flash injury to workers and equipment. It's about safety & reliability.
Only after an arc flash hazard analysis has been completed through a proper arc flash study, can engineering revisions be made to your system to reduce the incident energy to manageable levels. But only a proper short circuit study and arc flash study can identify the buses with high incident energy levels and only an arc flash study can determine the rating of the personal protective equipment really needed at each location in a facility.
Considerations for determining if you need an Arc flash study:
- Arc flash study has not been performed in the past three years
- Short-circuit, protective coordination studies have not been performed in the past five years
- Changes have occurred to electrical distribution system or electric utility system
- Safety audit is being required
- Facility insurance policy is up for renewal
- Modifications or expansions of electrical distribution system are being considered
This Arc Flash/Short Circuit Study course is designed to provide a comprehensive and systematic understanding of arc flash hazards, prevention, electrical safety, calculation and analysis. It is also designed to provide the detailed steps required to perform an arc flash study. Participants will learn how to perform in-depth calculations of incident energy, arcing current and flash protection boundaries based on the various methods of CSA Z462 and IEEE 1584. There will also be a demonstration of how to perform an Arc flash/short circuit study using a commercially available computer program.
Course Duration: 2 Days
Learn about arc flash hazards, standards, safety and calculations. This course is designed to educate participants about all aspects of arc flash studies.
