Who Should Attend:

Course Overview:

According to OSHA 1910.132(d), the employer is responsible to assess the hazards in the work place; select, have, and use the correct personal protective equipment (PPE); and document the assessment. To assess the hazards, Jim Phillips, P.E. shows you how to perform arc flash calculations and conduct the comprehensive arc flash study in this two-day arc flash training class.

You will perform calculations of incident energy, arcing current, arc flash boundary, and DC arc flash using calculation worksheets. You will see how to simplify the arc flash study and arc flash labeling as well as understand how to properly model the power system. Receive answers to questions such as: what if the calculated incident energy is greater than 40 calories per square centimeter, what if the utility information is unavailable, what really needs to go on an arc flash label, and much more. Plus, you will also get a peek into the next edition of IEEE 1584.

As part of this two-day class, you will receive instructions on how to perform an arc flash study; AC and DC arc flash calculation worksheets; a training manual containing over 300 pages; Phillips' 30-page Arc Flash Calculation Guide; and many calculation examples and problems.
