Abstract: This course is designed to equip the electrical consultant, system designer or any other professional responsible for designing or modernizing commercial and industrial electrical power distribution systems with the fundamentals of the Arc Flash Energy phenomenon. The current Safety and Arc Flash concerns can trace their history back to NFPA and IEEE activity dating back to the 70’s. Many industrial users have been incorporating concepts developed from these activities for decades. Awareness of the risks associated with electrical arc flash energy has increased since the incorporation of labeling requirements in the 2002 National Electrical Code (NFPA 70-2002) and the publication of IEEE 1584-2002. This lecture is based upon NFPA-70E-2018 ‘Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces,’ IEEE Standard 1584-2002 ‘Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations,’ NFPA70-2017, ‘National Electrical Code,’ and the regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States.

Peter E. Sutherland
Arc Flash Hazards and NFPA 70E-2018
Abstract: Peter E. Sutherland received the B.S at University of Maine at Orono, the M.Sc.E. at the University of New Brunswick (UNB), Canada and the PhD at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). After joining GE Industrial Solutions in 1987, he worked in a variety of roles becoming a Senior Power Systems Engineer. After GE-IS became part of ABB in 2018, he continued in the same role. The author of many papers, winner of an IEEE IAS Prize Paper Award and active in the IEEE for many years, he has held many positions including Chair of the IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Department and Distinguished Lecturer for the IAS and PES. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the IET, a PE in NY and other states and a Chartered Engineer in the UK.
