ARC Flash Hazard Analysis and Mitigation

---

The arc flash hazard analysis has taken the industry by storm, as evidenced by a spate of technical papers in the current literature, especially in IEEE industry application society petroleum and chemical industry, industrial and commercial power systems, pulp and paper industry technical conferences, and the IAS safety workshop. The concerns of worker safety in electrical environment are making new strides with respect to equipment innovations, electrical system designs, and arc flash analysis and its mitigation. This impetus has attracted the attention of the industry to bring forward new product innovations, and it has challenged the expertise of practicing and consulting engineers to innovative electrical power system design and relay protections. The current technical papers and literature address one or the other aspect of this subject. There is no comprehensive published work on this important subject.rnThis book fulfills this gap. All the aspects of arc flash hazard calculations, which include short circuits, protective relaying, differential relays, arc flash detection relays, relay coordination, grounding systems, arc resistant equipment, current transformer performance, and the like, are included in easy to understand language with a number of case studies, practical applications, and references. Current technologies and arc flash mitigation strategies, such as coordination on instantaneous basic, current limiting devices, zone interlocking, and equipment innovations, are covered. Appendix B provides tabulated statements for quick look up of arc flash hazards in electrical power systems. Chapter 13 is devoted to secondary protection of substation transformersbecause of its importance in arc flash hazard reduction. The critique of IEEE 1584 guide methodology by various authors and improvements in safety culture and work ethics are discussed. A new algorithm for the calculation of arc flash hazard accounting for the decaying nature of the short circuit currents, first presented in IEEE industry application transaction papers by the author, is included.rnThe IEEE 1584 guide does not cover arc flash hazard calculations in DC systems. Chapter 15 provides detailed short circuit calculations in DC systems and then their applications to arc flash hazard calculations in DC systems. Chapter 16 discusses application of ethernet and IEC 61850 communication protocols in a large industrial system for control, diagnostics, and data accessibility.rnThe book is written for practicing engineers, consultants, electrical power systems managers, and operating personnel. Some sections require undergraduate level or higher knowedge of electrical power systems. The book should attract a wide readership due to the ever increasing importance of this subject in recent times.rnArc flash hazard analysis and mitigation is the first book to focus specifically on arc flash hazards and provide the latest methodologies for its analysis as well as practical mitigation techniques.rnConsisting of sixteen chapters, this fully up to date handbook covers all aspects of arc flash hazard calculations and mitigation. It addresses the calculations of short circuits, protective relaying, and varied electrical systems configurations in electrical power systems. It also examines protection systems, including differential relays, arc flash sensing relays, protective relaying coordination, current transformer operation and saturation, and applications to major electrical equipment from the arc flash point of view. Current technologies and strategies for arc flash mitigation are explored. Using the methodology, analysis, and preventive measures discussed in the book, the arc flash hazard incident energy can be reduced to 8 cal/cm2 or less for the new and existing electrical distribution systems.rnThis powerful resource:rn• Features the most up to date arc flash analysis methodologies rn• Presents arc flash hazard calculations in dc systemsrn• Supplies practical examples and case studiesrn• Provides end of chapter reviews and questionsrn• Includes a foreword written by Lanny Floyd, a world renowned leader in electrical safety who is DuPont's principal Consultant on electrical safety and technologyrnArc flash hazard analysis and mitigation is a must have guide for electrical engineers engaged indesign, operation, and maintenance, consulting engineers, facility managers, and safety professionals.
