DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Though electrical incidents represent a relatively sm
 all percentage of all work-related incidents\, they are disproportionately
  fatal. In the case of burn injury\, it may result in extended hospitaliza
 tion and rehabilitation. Proper protection is the key to reduce casualties
  during these incidents. IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E are developed to protect t
 he safety of workers.\n\nFor a better understanding of the arc flash pheno
 mena\, the IEEE and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) have j
 oined forces on an initiative to fund and support research and testing to 
 improve the understanding of arc flashes. The results of this collaborativ
 e project will provide information that will be used to improve electrical
  safety standards\, predict the hazards associated with arcing faults and 
 accompanying arc blasts\, and provide practical safeguards for employees i
 n the workplace. The identified areas include but are not limited to 1) He
 at and Thermal Effects\, 2) Blast Pressure\, 3) Sound and 4) Light intensi
 ty.\n\nThis presentation will cover the heat and thermal-related arc flash
  hazards. It will give an introduction to the newly released IEEE Std. 158
 4–2018\, IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations.\n\nSpe
