Compliance
Protecting
Arc Flash Hazard has proved to be a significant and dangerous threat to electrical personnel.
Severons Arc Flash Compliance program provides a comprehensive safety solution that helps
you ensure that all of the arc flash requirements are met effectiviely.
A Deadly Force
Arc Flash is a result of a rapid release of energy caused due to an
arcing fault between live electrical conductors. Arc flash is initiated
by an external trigger that creates a conduction path for the arcing current. This may occur as a result of a human error, such
as the accidental contact of a test probe between an energized
conductor and earth or an equipment failure, such as insulation
breakdown. The energy discharged in an arcing fault can be significant. Associated hazards include, extreme radiant heat (reaching
temperatures of up to 4 times the surface of the sun), explosive pressure waves, shrapnel and toxic gasses.
Industry Standards
Many industries have already established and implemented enterprise wide arc flash compliance programs that ensure employee
safety in the event of an arc flash.
Several international standards cover the methods used to calculate
energies resulting from arc flash incidents. These standards include:
NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces
IEEE Standard 1584 A Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations
Actions To Take
Good safety plans involve adherence to the following six-point plan:
1 Asset owners are able to demonstrate an implemented safety
program with defined processes that address arc-flash hazards.
2 Documented calculations of the degree of arc flash hazard (incident energies) and the associated PPE requirements.
4 Train workers on the hazards associated with electrical work including electric shock and arc flash.
Severons highly-qualified power systems engineers (PSE) have extensive experience in performing Arc Flash studies. All PSEs have access to a variety of analysis tools used to best address the safety risks
of your unique system.
Our combined use of commercial and proprietary software utilizes
IEEE and NFPA equations and methods that are comprehensive and
accurate for calculating parameters including fault current momentary duties, device clearing times, arcing fault currents, arc durations
and incident energies.
