Arc Flash Hazard Analysis Guideline

Abstract ↓

This Practice provides information for performing an arc flash hazard analysis as required by NFPA 70E and IEEE C2. It provides guidance on the determination of the arc flash boundary, the incident energy at the working distance, and arc flash pressure. This information can be used to mitigate the possibility of an arc flash event through engineering controls or in the proper selection of personal protective equipment (PPE). Arc flash risk assessment, as required by NFPA 70E, is outside the scope of this document.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Energy System Specification

Abstract ↓

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Energy system. The Solar PV Energy system consists of a Solar PV Array, which produces DC power. The DC power can connect directly to a DC grid, or it can be connected to an AC grid with the use of an inverter that converts the DC power from the Solar PV Array to AC power. The Solar PV Energy system described in this Practice is intended for use in commercial or industrial applications. It is not intended for use in residential applications.
