Class: IEEE 1584 Arc Flash Studies Brainfiller.com (forum sponsor) There are a few dates remaining for my class about IEEE 1584 and arc flash studies. This is unique class where I not only show you how to perform the study but we perform each of the calculations manually using worksheets that I developed. This enables the user the ability to understand the affect of enclosure sizes, electrode configurations and more. Questions about the class? Contact our Program Director: 800-874-8883 Class Information and Details AGENDA INTRODUCTION TO ARC FLASH STUDIES ARC FLASH AND OTHER ELECTRICAL HAZARDS Physiological Effects, Electrocution, Tissue Damage, Internal Organ Damage, Burns Fibrillation, “Curable” 2nd Degree Burn CODES AND STANDARDS OSHA 29 CFR – Part 1910, Subpart S, NFPA 70, National Electrical Code®, 2018 NFPA 70E, (CSA Z462 for Canada Classes) Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, 2018 IEEE Standard 1584™, IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations, Legal Requirements, Liability 2018 EDITION – IEEE 1584 – DEVELOPMENT History of the Development of the 2018 IEEE 1584, IEEE/NFPA Collaboration, Working Group and Project Team, Almost 2000 New Arc Flash Tests, What Took So Long?
