Learn the latest trends in arc flash mitigation methods
Before designing a building’s electrical system, electrical engineers should understand the trends in arc flash mitigation.
ATTENDEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.
By designing electrical systems with arc flash mitigation in mind, the client’s facility will be a safer environment with improved equipment reliability. The design process might include comprehensive short circuit, coordination and arc flash studies to specify appropriate overcurrent protection devices, or other mitigation strategies as needed.
NFPA 70: National Electrical Code identifies how electrical engineers should design electrical systems to mitigate arc flash. Learn the basics of this design, along with new tools available for new and existing electrical systems. In addition, the new NFPA 70B maintenance requirement relating to arc flash mitigation.
Learning objectives:
- Review the basics of arc flash mitigation and the studies required to ensure appropriate specifications.
- Learn about how to design an electrical system to meet or exceed NFPA 70: National Electrical Code requirements.
- Discuss how electrical engineers can design mitigation strategies for safety of personnel.
- Understand the latest technologies in arc flash mitigation and best practices to minimize risks.
