FLASHES OF INSIGHT

Two Resources for DC Arc Flash Calculation Information

 

With DC systems becoming more prevalent, in data centers, high-speed rail and other applications, National Field Services recommends two recent publications from IEEE.

National Field Services is enhancing our expertise in addressing issues in Direct Current systems. We’ve recently come across a couple of articles that usefully address challenges and approaches to determining arc flash hazard calculations in DC systems. Both are available for purchase from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library:

• Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations in LV and MV DC Systems by J.C. Das
• Arc Flash Calculations for Exposures to DC Systems
