Arc Flash Virgin

Arc Flash Virgin

Arc Flash Virgin

(OP)
Hi all I'm just starting to read up on Arc Flash protection as I've never been involved with it before.

I have IEEE 1584-2004 as a starting point.  

Does anyone on the other side of the pond know about any equivalent IEC standard or what is done in mainland europe with regards to arc flash protection?

RE: Arc Flash Virgin

go to the website:  www.arcflashforum.com  there is a wealth of information there including European information

RE: Arc Flash Virgin

See IEC 62271-200. There you can find some information.

In some European countries de facto standard in arc-flash protection is light and current based protection (optical sensors). This method is recognized by the IEC standard.
