13. The Power of Electricity

25. According to burn centers, if your age and the percentage of burns over your body is equal to or greater than 100 your odds of survival are less than 5% • Very PAINFULLY curable • NOT CURABLE

26. Electrical Hazards

27. Electrical Hazards • Shock • Electrocution • Fire • Arc flash • Arc blast • Static Electricity Example of an arcing fault

28. Electrical Shock • Received when current passes through the body • Severity of the shock depends on: • Path of current through the body • Amount of current flowing through the body • Length of time the body is in the circuit • LOW VOLTAGE DOES NOT MEAN LOW HAZARD

31. Electric Arc Molten Metal 35,000 °F Pressure Waves Sound Waves Shrapnel Copper Vapor: Solid to Vapor Expands by 67,000 times Hot Air-Rapid Expansion Intense Light

32. Limited Approach Boundary • Nearest an UNQUALIFIED • Person can approach • Restricted Approach Boundary • Must be a QUALIFIED PERSON • that understands the hazards • Prohibited Approach Boundary • Same as contacting ENERGIZED • conductors

33. Based upon Arc Flash Potential • Flash Protection Boundary • Based upon the distance at which a 1.2cal (2nd degree) burn could be received • Defined as “An approach limit at a distance from exposed live parts within which a person could receive a 2nd degree burn if an electrical arc flash were to occur”. • This is NOT THE SAFE BOUNDARY

34. Limits of Approach – Limited Approach Boundary Prohibited Restricted Limited The closest distance an “unqualified” person can approach, unless escorted by a “qualified” person. Energized panel (<750V) 3 feet 6 inches for 480V

35. Limits of Approach – Restricted Approach Boundary Prohibited Restricted The closest distance to exposed live parts a “qualified” person can approach w/out proper PPE and tools. To cross this boundary, the qualified person must wear PPE and have proper tools. Energized part 12 inches for 480 volts

36. Limits of Approach - Shock Prohibited Crossed ONLY by a “qualified” person, which when crossed by body part or object, requires the same protection as if direct contact was made with the live part. Energized part 1 inch for 480 volts

37. Limits of Approach – Flash Protection Boundary • The distance from exposed live parts within which a person could receive a second degree burn if an arc flash were to occur. • Arc flash PPE is required within this boundary. • Note: Distance may be less than or greater than the shock protection boundaries. Flash Protection Boundary Prohibited Restricted Limited Energized part Calculated distance

38. 240 Volts and Less

39. 277 – 600 volts Other Equipment

44. Hazard Risk Category 3 & 4 Hazard Risk Category 1 Hazard Risk Category 0 Hazard Risk Category 2 Electrical PPE for Arc Flash and Arc Blast

45. Flash hazard analysis and NEC 110.16 arc-flash label NEC® 2008 - 110.16 Flash Protection Electrical equipment, such as switchboards, panelboards, industrial control panels, meter socket enclosures, and motor control centers, that are in other than dwelling occupancies, and are likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized shall be field marked to warn qualified persons of potential electric arc flash hazards. The marking shall be located so as to be clearly visible to qualified persons before examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance of the equipment. • FPN No. 1: NFPA 70E-2004, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, provides assistance in determining severity of potential exposure, planning safe work practices, and selecting personal protective equipment. • FPN No. 2: ANSI Z535.4-1998, Product Safety Signs and Labels, provides guidelines for the design of safety signs and labels for application to products.

46. WARNING ! Arc Flash and Shock Hazards Appropriate PPE Required Failure to Comply Can Result in Death or Injury Refer to NFPA 70E NEC 110.16 ARC-FLASH label Minimum required marking for 110.16 compliance

Arc Flash and Shock Hazards Appropriate PPE Required Failure to Comply Can Result in Death or Injury 34 inch Flash Hazard Boundary 3 cal/cm Flash Hazard at 18 inches • 2 1 Hazard Risk Category 4 cal/cm2 shirt & pants hard hat, safety glasses, FR rated faceshield 480 VAC Shock Hazard 42 inch Limited Approach 500V Class 00 gloves, leather protectors 12 inch Restricted Approach 1 inch Prohibited Approach Equipment Name: XYZ Motor Starter NEC 110.16 ARC-FLASH labelwith more information For practical application needs to be feet

48. OSHA Electrical Safety Requirements

49. NFPA 70E Qualified Person A qualified person shall be trained and knowledgeable of construction and operation of equipment or work method and trained to recognize and avoid hazard (110.6(D)(1)) • Familiar with precautionary techniques, personal protective equipment including arc flash, insulating and shielding materials, insulated tools and test equipment • Distinguish exposed energized parts from other parts • Determine nominal voltage of live parts • Understand safe approach distances in Table 130.2C • Determine personal protective equipment for task
