Arc-Flash Hazard Assessment & Update - CANCELLED

Date(s):

November 29 — 30, 2022

Venue:

DoubleTree by Hilton Spokane City Center

Description:

Who Should Attend:

Utility engineers, staking technicians, lineworkers, superintendents, and early-career engineers.

Course Overview:

IEEE Standard 1584 was updated in late 2018 and significant changes were made that could change the PPE used by electric utilities. These changes include elimination of the exception for transformers below 125 kVA and elimination of the 85% rule. Further, the calculation now includes more shape factors for arcs that are considered to be enclosed in switchgear or similar enclosures. The new calculations are more accurate, but present challenges for electric utilities. In this course you will also learn about the following:

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

Safety in the workplace

National Electric Safety Code (NESC)

OSHA

Overcoming the bulletproof mindset

Arc flash calculation methods

Electrode configuration

Guidelines for performing arc flash assessments

Working distances

Enclosure size correction factor

Safety Measures:

As we continue to monitor and evaluate COVID-19 levels, we understand that the health and safety of our members, staff, and the community are of highest concern. We are asking everyone to do their part. NWPPA and local venues will follow applicable federal, state, and local health protocols. Assumption of Risk: COVID-19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. It is not possible for NWPPA or anyone else to completely prevent the presence of the disease. Therefore, if you choose to attend a conference organized by NWPPA and voluntarily enter onto premises where its conference is held, you are accepting the risk, without right of claim against NWPPA and its directors, employees, or agents, of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 and its variants.

This course qualifies for 12 continuing hours. Certificates are issued upon full completion of the course.
