Arc-Flash Training

Arc-Flash Training

Arc-Flash Training

(OP)
Can anyone direct me towards a useful and informative Arc-flash training course?  I recently attended an Arc-flash information session which has caused me to see the requirement of safety boundary calculations.  I work for a smaller consulting company and I can see this as a deficieny in the technical knowledge our company possesses.

I am interested in attending a comprehensive course covering both the NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 codes and calculations as well as mitigation techniques.  Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.  I see this becoming much more of a concern in Canada in the coming years.  

Thank you,
Whitney

You Could Check out ESA they give classes on these topics.  There are also other Companies who have classes that are similar. They also have a software package for this that they will teach you to use. Their web site is ww.easypower.com

Is this the ESA that you were referring to?

It doesn't appear as though they offer anything on Arc-Flash.

Check http://www.ferrazshawmut.com/arcflash/home/index.cfm You can contact Ferraz Shawmut Canada at tor.techserv@ferrazshawmut.com to make arrangements for arcflash seminar tailored specifically for Canadian customers.

If one day you decide do the analysis on your own, you can check out www.arcadvisor.com offering free IEEE 1584 based arcflash calculator and comprehensive short circuit analysis tool (you'll need to perform accurate system short circuit analysis before you can apply either the IEEE 1584 or NFPA70E methodology for arcflash hazard analysis)

Check with the Dupont corporation their electrical division

RE: Arc-Flash Training

Google NFPA 70E training, someone even has this course available online in a live session format
