2. Arc Flash Analysis and Power System Studies
The NFPA 70E makes it clear the electrical equipment needs to be
assessed and labeled properly.
Article 130.5 states: An arc flash hazard analysis shall determine the arc
flash boundary, the incident energy at the working distance, and the personal
protective equipment that the people within the arc flash boundary shall use.
Electrical Diagnostic Surveys (EDS) can help your company comply with
all aspects of the NFPA 70E. Our experts have extensive knowledge and
experience with electrical safety, electrical power systems, and the
project management experience necessary to comply with todays
standards while having minimal impact on your current operations.
Through years of diverse project experience EDS has developed
innovative and efficient methods to get the job done right and for less
than the competition.
Data Collection
Collecting the proper data from your power system is the most
important aspect of the arc flash analysis. Having correct and concise data
is vital to achieving accurate results. EDS offers many options for data
collection to best suite your needs. Some of these options include off-site
supervision and guidance of site personnel or local contractor, or onsite
data collection working with site personnel or local contractor.
One-Line Development
The one-line diagram is the basis of analysis. Data collected in the field is
entered into engineering software to build a snapshot of your existing
power system. Once this data is entered many different types of power
system analysis can be performed, such as: Short Circuit Analysis,
Protective Device Coordination, Load Flow Analysis, Harmonic Analysis,
and Arc Flash Analysis.
Arc Flash Analysis
Analysis is performed in order to quantify arc flash energies, provide
guidance on what level of personal protection is needed when working on
equipment, and establish boundaries to keep non-qualified personnel a
safe distance away. The results of the analysis are used to create and
provide arc flash labels to be posted at all electrical equipment, as well as
specific energized electrical work permits to be filled out when energized
work is scheduled to take place. The labels and work permits include
information such as: incident energy, hazard risk category, arc flash
boundary, shock boundaries.
Other Power System Studies
• Protective Device Coordination
• Short Circuit Analysis
• Load Flow Analysis
• Harmonic Analysis
Challenge Questions:
Have you performed and Arc Flash Analysis at
your facility?

Medium / High Voltage Safety Training - 4 Hrs.
Our Medium / High Voltage Electrical Safety Training establishes minimum
standards to ensure that worker’s health and safety are protected during
medium voltage electrical work and is based upon, but not limited to,
OSHA 1910.269, 1910.132(D), 1910.137 standards.
OSHA makes a distinction between low voltage qualified employees (600
volt and below) and those qualified for med/high voltage job tasks. The
reason for this distinction is equipment and conductors that carry med/
high voltage warrant particular safety requirements and procedures.
Electricians may only be licensed for particular voltage classes in some
jurisdictions.There are many issues to consider when measuring med/high
voltage. Taking med/high voltage measurements can be hazardous to the
equipment, to the unit under test, and to the employee.Also verifying zero
energy, proper grounding techniques, and proper switching procedures is
critical to the safety of the employee. Per-requisite to this class is NFPA
70E.
Upon Completion Students will understand:
1. Use of insulating and shielding materials for employee protection.
Identify medium / high voltage safety hazards.
2. Define the approach boundaries.
3. Demonstrate the skills and techniques to distinguish live parts
from other parts and determine the nominal voltage of live parts.
4. Select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for each
hazard category.
5. Demonstrate safe electrical work practices working on or near
energized equipment.
6. Proper selection and use of rated test instruments and
equipment.
7. Use of insulating and shielding materials for employee protection.
Course Agenda

4. Lockout/Tagout Training - 2 hours
Comment: EDS conducted a 2011 survey of a broad cross section of the
electrical industry that was comprised of 14 companies totaling 507
electrical workers who were asked one question... do you implement your
company's energy control procedures on every job task?16 out of 507
said "yes". These answers revel that our companies are not annually
auditing their employees or enforcing the energy control program (no
reprimand). The annual audit is required by OSHA to ensure that
employees understand the Lockout/Tagout procedures and the
importance of implementing these procedures.Two of the top 10 OSHA
citations issued to companies are failure to implement an energy control
program and failure to enforce energy control procedures.
Lockout / Tagout Training – OSHA 1910.147(c)(7)(iii)(C) “Retraining.
The retraining shall reestablish employee proficiency and introduce new
or revised control methods and procedures, as necessary.”
Lockout / Tagout Training – OSHA 1910.269(a)(2)(iii) “The employer
shall determine, through regular supervision and through inspections
conducted on at least an annual basis, that each employee is complying
with the safety-related work practices required by this section.”
Class Agenda
• Recognizing lockout / tagout devices.
• Installing lockout / tagout devices.
• Duty of employer in writing and publishing procedures.
• Duty of employee in executing procedures.
• Duty of person-in-charge.
• Authorized and unauthorized removal of locks / tags.
• Enforcing execution of lockout / tagout procedures.
• Individual employee control of energy.
• Simple lockout / tagout.
• Complex lockout / tagout.
• Using single line and diagrammatic drawings to identify sources of
energy.

5. NEC 2011 Update Training - 4 hours
Our NEC Code Class covers topics from Chapter 1 General, Chapter 2
Wiring and Protection, Chapter 3 Wiring Methods and Materials, Chapter
4 Equipment for General Use and several important Annex's. We do not
select every topic in the first 4 chapters, but choose to address those
topics that would be identified relevant to safety and would most affect
the cost of doing business. However we can customize certain areas of
interest if notified in advance.
The purpose of the NEC is the practical safeguarding of persons and
property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. The NEC is
written for qualified persons only. If electrical equipment is installed
according to the code requirements and all the components for
installation are listed and labeled for the application, and has been
inspected by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), it is considered
safe to operate. I think everyone would agree the code book can be
difficult to grasp. However, the problem at most industrial facilities is that
most electrical workers are seldom updated with code requirements and
no AHJ is inspecting the installation.The result is: damage to equipment
(downtime) and elevated risk to personnel. EDS can help keep your
employees up-to-date, minimizing downtime and increase personal safety.
NEC 2011 Update Training - 4 hours
Our NEC class can be customized to fit the needs of your company. Any
combination of the following topics can be included to meet your
requirements.

NFPA 70B
NFPA 70B Training - 4 Hrs.
In today's global economy, the quest for increased productivity is a given
for most commercial and industrial facilities. Keeping those facilities
running smoothly at maximum efficiency requires a host of programs
involving all aspects of the operation, including maintaining the electrical
equipment.
Based upon OSHA's preamble Subpart S, 33% of incidents and fatalities
occur due to failure to maintain the electrical equipment's integrity.
Although most facilities call on outside contractors to perform Med/High
voltage equipment maintenance, often low voltage equipment such as
molded case circuit breakers, insulated case circuit breakers, and 600 volt
motor control centers are often neglected. Breaker manufacturers state
that if this type of equipment is not properly maintained in a 5 year period,
a failure rate of 40% can occur.
Results: extensive equipment damage and elevated risk to employees.
An effective electrical preventive maintenance (EPM) program goes well
beyond that. It must ensure all personnel implementing the maintenance
procedures are up to speed on what constitutes equipment sustainability
and an electrical safe work environment for employees. That's where
NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance,
comes in.
Course Agenda
• Substations
• Switchgear Assemblies
• Auxillary Equipment
• Power and Distribution Transformers
• Air Circuit Breakers - Medium Voltage
• Molded-Case Circuit Breakers in Power Plants
• Fuses
• Protective Relays
• Rotating Equipment
• Grounding
• Motor Control Equipment
• Maintenance Intervals
• Power Cables
Proper maintenance of med/high voltage electrical equipment insures
stability of the power system and prevents personal injuries to employees.

7. Meter Safety Training - 2 hours
We ask participants in our meter safety program to bring their
digital multi-meter to class to determine the safety category rating
and compliance with IEC 61010-1 (International Electrotechnical
Commission) safety requirements for electrical equipment
measurement. Understanding the proper category rating of an
electrician's test equipment is important for his or her safety. The
digital multi-meter and voltage testers are the cause of many
injuries and fatalities. Failure to confirm zero energy can result in
electrocutions and failure to have the appropriate test equipment
for the work environment can result in arc flash event to occur.
Class Summary
• International safety specifications
• Identify IEC installation categories
• Identification of IEC safety markings
• Understand common multi-meter safety issues
• Example and case studies of safety incidents
• Overvoltage categories and voltage withstand
• Dangers of transient voltages
