Look around you.
You will find that nearly everything we use today is powered by electricity.
As electricity has become ubiquitous in every factory and office, awareness of the necessary safety standards becomes indispensable...
"A fuse is essentially a metal wire or strip that heats up and melts when too much current flows through it, thereby opening the circuit and interrupting the current flow."
In order to select the right fuse for a...
An unfortunate truth about Arc Flash incidents is that they can occur regardless of training. Without proper protective measures, workers are left exposed to dangerous conditions and have to suffer the consequences. Every...
In order to dig deep into the easy way to calculate the short circuit current calculations, we must first develop our knowledge base on the basics of short circuit analysis.
"A Short Circuit current analysis is used to...
Electrical power systems analysis is a very broad subject that covers various elements in electrical engineering. In order to analyze the operation of power systems for any fault current and Arc Flash incident, we do need a...
In this blog, we will talk about the most important changes in the newly approved IEEE 1584-2018 standard (A guide for performing Arc flash hazard calculations). We have also covered the differences of previous IEEE 1584...
In order to realize the significance of short circuit analysis, we must first understand what it actually is? After that, we will discuss in detail about the importance and applications of short circuit analysis.
After...
SAFETY FIRST! A human life is far more important than the machines and equipment present at a workplace. Then comes the equipment safety.
A human life can be put into risk due to many errors, be it human or apparatus. We...
Do Arc flash studies really matter? Or the fact about how Power Systems Engineers can reduce the risk of Arc flash hazards in commercial facilities and industries?
This guide will provide a detailed overview on the importance...
This guide will provide an explanation on all the major changes that have been implemented in new NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) 70E 2018 edition.
If you are familiar with the concept of Arc flash studies, then...
