NEW PLANT SERVICES WEBINAR:
From theory to practice: Applying arc mitigation strategies and installation guidelines to your specific application
There is so much information about arc flash hazards, it can become overwhelming. During this webcast, Plant Services Editor-in-Chief Mike Bacidore speaks with Littelfuse’s Tony Locker, P.E., about moving beyond theory into the practical applications of arc flash mitigation.
This webcast will help you understand where and how to install arc flash relays and what is recommended to maintain them properly. Mr. Locker will go through a step-by-step process to help you calculate whether you can lower your PPE by installing an arc flash mitigation device. The calculations include a typical scenario in three-phase systems, as defined by IEEE 1584 calculations. Also, the webinar includes a real-world example of an arc flash relay installation, where an arc flash occurred – including how much it lowered the hazard category and how it saved the plant from catastrophic damage.
