Learn how to mitigate arc flash risks and ensure compliance with ETAP

Electrical workers are exposed to various hazards, making it essential to not only identify but also quantify these risks to ensure workplace safety. In this webinar, you’ll get familiar with the latest innovation in AC and DC arc flash safety enhancements provided with ETAP 2024, used to identify, quantify, and mitigate electrical risks.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the challenges industries face, including renewable integrations, to assesses shock, arc flash, lightning risk, and underground cable magnetic field exposures
• How to determine the relevant standards and guidelines for analysis for your specific region
• Learn the features which allow power engineers to perform arc flash analysis for various types of AC systems
• Become familiar with ETAP’s newest enhancements for determining incident energy levels, arc flash boundaries, and PPE categories in DC systems
  

ETAP groups its extensive safety-oriented solutions into a comprehensive add-on called ArcSafety, which includes unique proprietary calculation algorithms to assist in the analysis of AC and DC equipment for generation, transmission, energy and chemicals, renewables and data center applications, to name just a few. Through its commitment to innovation in electrical safety and engineering excellence, this add-on is continually updated and expanded to the latest methods and safety standards. For example, in ETAP 2024, shock protection boundaries are based on NFPA 70E – 2024 and CSA Z462- 2024. 

The patented C-area plots have become game changers by allowing engineers to be proactive and design for a reasonable incident energy exposure during the protection and coordination phase. This enables the evaluation of arc flash incident energy on TCCs during protection and coordination studies using the proprietary DC C-areas concept. DC Arc Flash includes methods specifically researched and designed for photovoltaics (PV), batteries, and other DC systems, including large DC capacitors and converters. 

The webinar includes an interactive Q&A session with our experts to address your specific challenges and requirements.

This topic was initially presented at the Spark 2024 Global Digital Conference. By popular demand, it is being presented as a webinar.

(9:00 AM - 10:00 AM UTC)

Electrical Engineers, Safety Managers, Facility Managers, Power Engineers, and anyone else responsible for electrical safety compliance and interested in advanced arc safety analysis software to comprehensively assess and mitigate arc flash hazards in both AC and DC systems.

This webinar is free. Registration is required.
