Workshop Description
- The purpose of this 4-day introductory hands-on workshop is to learn how to apply power system engineering knowledge to conduct arc-flash hazard analysis as well as to provide a refresher on modeling power systems using ETAP software.
- This workshop provides instructions on how to apply the new IEEE 1584-2018 Standard. The course explains how an arc-flash incident energy study should be conducted using the new arc-flash standard guidelines.
- The course covers a few basics on arc-flash hazard assessment and the application/selection of mitigation techniques such as improved overcurrent protective device settings, differential protection, etc.
- This course also includes a refresher on topics such as power system modeling fundamentals, equipment sizing, power flow problems, & short circuit analysis.
- An ETAP workstation is provided for each attendee.
Who should attend
- New ETAP users and power engineers who wish to increase their skills using the ETAP application to perform system studies and arc flash analysis
- Current users seeking a refresher course
- Knowledge of power system engineering concepts is highly recommended for those attending this workshop.
