Arc Flash NFPA - 70E Review & 2024 Update
This online engineering CPD video presentation presents an introduction, review and update on the 2024 NFPA 70E based Arc Flash standards and requirements.
The course begins with an introduction to the general arc flash phenomenon. The science behind the arc flash phenomenon is covered, coupled with discussion of potential causes for arc flash and properties of an electrical power distribution system. Insofar as the relationship between an arc flash event and the electrical power distribution system is concerned, pertinent components such as fuses and breakers, and their role in initiation and mitigation of an arc are explained. Value of arc flash risk analysis is covered, and recommended approach in the absence of a formal arc flash study is explained. PPE prescribed for the four (4) arc flash hazard classes, 1, 2, 3 and 4, is discussed. The three (3) approach boundaries are discussed and illustrated. Arc Flash terminology and respective definitions are reviewed. Arc Flash labelling requirements and methodology are explained.
This 6 CPD video presentation is designed for professional engineers, non-licensed engineers, technicians, facilities managers, and other professionals who are interested in enhancing their understanding of arc flash risk in their operations or those of their clients.
This continuing education video presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the arc flash phenomenon.
