How to Perform an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
Course Description:
This 3-day, instructor-led course will explain the process for performing a comprehensive Arc Flash Hazard Analysis. Data collection, short circuit analysis, device evaluation, and the arc flash report are the topics that will be discussed. This is an advanced course that will include hands-on experience reinforced by lecture content. The information provided will be based on the 2018 version of IEEE 1584. A major emphasis will be placed on making sure you develop the skills and knowledge in this highly technical area that can have practical value in your work and will meet the requirements set forth in NFPA 70E. Whether you are performing an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis or reviewing one that has been performed for your facility, the information provided by this course will be beneficial to your knowledge on the subject. SKM Power Tools for Windows is the software that will be used for this course.
Prerequisites:
- Knowledge of the SKM Software
- Knowledge of NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584
- Basic knowledge of what the Arc Event is
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
- Create a plan to make sure the requirements of NFPA 70E are satisfied
- Perform data collection that will balance the requirement of NFPA 70E and the cost of the data collection process
- Proceed if no utility information is available
- Proceed if missing component data or library information
- Model the different components of the electrical distribution system
- Validate your input data for the system model to help prevent possible errors in the calculations
- Choose the proper options to perform the Arc Flash study
- Choose the proper output for the results of your Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
- Integrate the Equipment Evaluation result into your Arc Flash Hazard Documents
- Mitigate high levels of Arc Flash Incident Energy
- Design and print your Arc Flash Labels per NFPA 70E requirements
Who Should Attend:
Personnel who are involved in the design and maintenance of the facility’s electrical power system and are part of the electrical safety for the facility.
