IEEE 1584.1 Guide for the Specification of Scope and Deliverable Requirements for Performing an Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation Study in Accordance with IEEE Std 1584 is done!

A friend/colleague of mine and I co-authored the original draft of this guide several years ago. Since then, with a lot of help from many people on the IEEE 1584 working group making revisions, comments, and providing a host of great ideas as well as lots of guidance and work by seasoned veterans of IEEE that were able to navigate the document through the complex approval process - it is done! It was a monumental group effort involving many people.

This new IEEE document was recently approved and is now finally at the finish line ready for publishing. Although I don’t have a firm date about when it will be available for purchase from IEEE, I will let everyone know as soon as the release day is known.

The new IEEE document defines the recommended minimum guidelines for performing an Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation Study based on IEEE Std 1584 and is to enable persons such as facility owners, contractors, equipment manufacturers, operations, safety, and electrical personnel as well as those responsible for the specification and/or the performance of the study to understand the minimum scope of work and deliverables required. Additionally, by providing a detailed list of deliverable items, accurate proposals can be obtained.

Okay, I want to be first in line to buy a copy. Can I get it autographed by you?
Seriously, Congratulations on completing a monumental task! Thank you!
