Arc flash or Arc Blast is gaining attention in the electrical installation world today. It’s another electrical hazard which needs to be contained and eliminated. This phenomenon has to be scrutinized seriously and adequate safety measures have to be implemented. The risks involved in arc flashes and blasts are devastating and can result in huge losses and severe downtime. Arc flash hazards analysis are gaining popularity worldwide as it mitigates electrical faults particularly flash overs. This analysis is comprehensive as it will expose the risks, estimates the deadly incident energy and recommends the type of personal protective equipment to be used.

Arc flash protection relays, arc detection methods and containment are among the arc flash mitigation techniques. This will also involve the internal arc classifications and the design of the arc retardant metal switchgear. This Understanding Arc Flash Phenomenon, Risk, and Incident Energy training course will help the delegates to understand the arc flash phenomenon, recognise hazards of arc flash and arc blasts, understand the concepts of arc flash hazards analysis and importance of arc flash incidents mitigations.

By the end of this Energy Training Centre training course, the participants will be able to:

  • Recognise hazards of arc flash and arc blasts
  • Explain the limits of approach and its significance
  • Determine how to avoid electrical flash overs
  • Understand the concepts of arc flash hazards analysis
  • Assess the best type of arc flash mitigation techniques

This training course will ensure that participants will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the course outline with the instructor utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Each participant will receive a copy of the comprehensive seminar notes. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using computer displays, videos and power point presentation.

The training course is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions. Needs-Based case-studies and examples will be discussed in problem solving workshop sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with other delegates and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.

Upon completion of this Understanding Arc Flash Phenomenon, Risk, and Incident Energy training course the organizational impact would be:

  • Technical training and up-skilling to improve and realise the full potential of a competent workforce in arc flash management.
  • Productivity increase through minimisation of project time acceptance/design, testing and studies.
  • Identification for opportunities of improvements due to deep understanding of the various types of arc flash mitigation techniques.
  • Networking of personnel with technology leaders and other engineers.
  • Attitude change of workforce, as continuous follow up of new technologies and their up taking could otherwise create workforce with high resistance to change due to lack of understanding.
  • Ensure safety practices are adhered when carrying out electrical installation activities

On successful completion of this Energy Training Centre course delegate will be able to :

  • Recognise the importance of arc flash incidents mitigations
  • Understand the magnitude and damage from arc flashes and arc blasts
