IEEE Std 1584-2018 “Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations” – A Journey in Understanding the Anatomy of an Arc
The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, February 21, 2024 for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation. We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations. We will be meeting this month at MEGI Engineering, 5005 Meadows Rd, Suite 100, Lake Oswego, OR 97035. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the East side of the building.
The cost will be $20 with food from QDOBA Mexican Eats. There is no charge to attend the presentation only. Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

IEEE Std 1584-2018 “Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations” – A Journey Understanding the Anatomy of an Arc
Abstract: Over the course of more than 10 years beginning in the year 2004, a multi-million-dollar research project sponsored by the IEEE and the NFPA involved a series of over 1,800 arc flash tests performed in high-voltages laboratories. Dr. Wei-Jen Lee, who led the research project, will outline the significant improvements in the updated IEEE Standard, explaining the data acquisition systems and instruments used to measure heat energy, sound, blast pressure and light and how test methods changed over the course of testing in developing what is now a globally accepted model in commercial and industrial power systems analysis to quantify arc flash hazards.
Presenter: Wei-Jen Lee, PhD, PE, IEEE Fellow - Department of Electrical Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington
