Ho wever\, there are many factors that influence the equipment performance an d many effects from an arc flash that are often overlooked. To obtain the maximum benefits from arc resistant equipment installation\, one must unde rstand how the fault behaves\, how equipment is tested and evaluated and h ow this relates to the goals of the total safety program.\n\nThis presenta tion will discuss the physics of an arc fault and how this affects design\ , testing and application. It will highlight some of the fundamental featu res of arc resistant design to show how such designs are used to address t he fault hazards and how this relates to the requirements of other safety documents such as NFPA 70E and Z462. It will also discuss how the equipmen t works in conjunction with other protective devices to minimize operator exposure to arc fault hazards.\n\nThe presentation will conclude with how the test requirements\, performance criteria\, and test results interpreta tion found in the IEEE Guide C37.20.7 relate to actual application and dis cuss upcoming changes proposed for the document.\n\n"Fine Print"\n\n- The webinar is free for active IEEE members.\n- There is a $5 registration fee for people who are not active IEEE members.\n\n- The fee must be paid in advance through the registration process below (credit card through PayPal ) in order to receive the link to the webinar.\n- Upon successful payment of the fee\, you will receive 2 emails: one from noreply_vtools@ieee.org w ith title "IEEE vTools Reservation Confirmation\," and a second from servi ce@intl.paypal.com with title "Your payment to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\, Inc." Both emails are required to ensure your payment was successfully processed.\n- Incomplete non-member registration s (payment not received) will be deleted.\n- A link to the WebEx registrat ion will be sent to the email address you provided during this vTools regi stration\, on May 11\, by "IEEE Northern Alberta".
