Learn about the important changes to the 2015 edition of NFPA 70E. Specifically, hazard analysis and FR clothing performance testing will be discussed, focusing on the quantification of incident energy and ATPV (or Arc Rating). Examine causes and consequences of arc flash, with emphasis on historical data, real accidents, body burn and non-FR vs. FR clothing.
Highlights include new super slow motion HD video of arc flashes on real 480V equipment with clothed manikins in typical working positions. Plus, we’ll explain what’s behind an arc rating and what arc ratings really tell you.
