An article in Incident Preventation magazine reveals that electric power utilities are struggling when it comes to developing implementing arc flash protection and prevention plans. The article states:
"A recent survey conducted by Incident Prevention indicated there is no standard method for developing and implementing electric utility arc flash implementation plans. In particular, survey participants identified four areas of uncertainty: • Selecting and utilizing appropriate engineering software to calculate arc flash data. • Selecting standard working distances for various types of work performed. • Developing engineering controls and work rules to reduce energy levels. • Identifying and developing processes to manage secondary arc flash conditions."The article looks at each one of these.
