WBD, there was an arc flash study you referenced saying that:
"Therefore using the tables is a compromise at best. There was a study done by DuPont on arc flash events at their facilities and they concluded:
having no PPE resulted in injuries 100% of the time
using the NFPA 70E tables resulted in less than adequate PPE resulting in injuries 50% of the time
performing a study to determine actual incident energy levels resulted in proper PPE and no injuries"
Where can I find that study? I'd like to reference it for training and to emphasize the need for an arc flash study.
Thanks,
Keith
