In the case of burn injury\, it may result in extended hospitalization and r ehabilitation. Proper protection is the key to reducing casualties during these incidents. IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E are developed to protect the safet y of the workers.\n\nFor better understanding of the arc flash phenomena\, the IEEE and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) have joined forces on an initiative to fund and support research and testing to improv e the understanding of arc flashes. The results of this collaborative proj ect will provide information that will be used to improve electrical safet y standards\, predict the hazards associated with arcing faults and accomp anying arc blasts\, and provide practical safeguards for employees in the workplace. The identified areas include but are not limited to 1) Heat and Thermal Effects\, 2) Blast Pressure\, 3) Sound\, and 4) Light intensity.\ n\nThis presentation will cover the heat and thermal related arc flash haz ards. It will include the basic understanding of the arc flash\, performin g the arcing current and incident energy estimation\, and brief introducti on to IEEE Std. 1584–2018\, IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard C alculations.\n\nFeedback from some of the attendees:\n\n"I appreciate the opportunity and exposure to the learning\, development\, and the people/or ganizations that are providing it.
