Webinar Description

Electrical workers are exposed to various types of electrical hazards including AC and DC arc-flash making it essential to not only identify them but also quantify them to ensure workplace safety. In this webinar, you’ll get familiar with the latest innovations for arc-flash analysis using ETAP 2024. 

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the challenges industries face - including shock, arc flash, lightning risk, and underground cable magnetic field exposures
  • Identify the standards provided by ETAP to determine the relevant calculations
  • 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, for the fast-evolving DC system technology

ETAP offers its extensive arc flash safety solutions within a comprehensive Safety add-on to ETAP Power Simulator, 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.
