NEW Annex S Assessing the Condition of Maintenance \n \nWhy is NFPA 70E Such an Important Standard?\nAccording to OSHA 1910.132(d) The employer is responsible to assess the hazards in the work place\, select\, have\, and use the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and document the assessment. The use of NFPA 70E and other related industry consensus standards has been used to demonstrate whether an employer acted reasonably when there is a possible OSHA enforcement action taken. \nSo although NFPA 70E is not directly part of OSHA standards\, it can be used as evidence of whether an employer acted reasonably in complying with OSHA standards and addressing “recognized hazards”. \nThere are more specific links within the OSHA standards as well. A typical example is found in 1910.335\, Safeguards for personnel protection which requires: “(a)(1)(i) Employees working in areas where there are potential electrical hazards shall be provided with\, and shall use\, electrical protective equipment that is appropriate for the specific parts of the body to be protected and for the work to be performed.” \nThis regulation requires that employees must be properly protected from potential electrical hazards\, by using adequate PPE\, but it does not provide specific detail of what specific personal protective equipment is necessary to achieve the objective. NFPA 70E is used to define the specific details and requirements.

SUMMARY:OSHA 1910.269 - Electric Power Generation\, Transmission\, and Distribution.
DESCRIPTION:This Two-Day class addresses the major topics associated with medium and high voltage electrical safety based on OSHA 1910-269. Although each OSHA topic will be covered which includes some non-electrical topics\, the primary focus will be on electrical topics and electrical safety when working on or near exposed energized conductors. Arc flash protection and shock protection will be addressed as well as determining the necessary PPE. Various incident energy analysis methods as outlined in Annex E will be discusses as well as several in-class examples. Calculation examples will be provided based on the changes in minimum approach distance calculation methods. \n\nINTRODUCTION \nHUMAN EFFECTS AND HAZARDS OF ELECTRICITYPhysiological Effects\, Tissue Damage\, Internal Organ Damage\, Burns Fibrillation\, “Just Curable” 2nd Degree Burn\, Arc Blast Pressure\, Sound Pressure\, Incident Energy\nCODES AND STANDARDS OVERVIEWOSHA 29 CFR – Part 1910\, Subpart S\, Part 1910 Subpart R – 1910.269\, NESC National Electrical Safety Code\, NFPA 70\, National Electrical Code®\, NFPA 70E\, IEEE Standard 1584™\, IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations\, Liability Considerations\nCATEGORIES OF ELECTRICAL HAZARDSElectric Shock\, Electrocution\, Arc Flash\, Arc Blast\, Ultra-Violet Light\, Sound Pressure\nOSHA 1910.269 Topics\n\n1910.269(a)  General\n1910.269(b)  Medical Services and First Aid\n1910.269(c)  Job Briefing\n1910.269(d)  Hazardous energy control (lockout/tagout) procedures\n1910.269(g)  Personal protective equipment\n1910.269(i)  Hand and portable power equipment\n1910.269(j)  Live-line tools\n1910.269(l)  Working on or near exposed energized parts\n1910.269(m)  Deenergizing lines and equipment for employee protection\n1910.269(n)  Grounding for protection of employees\n1910.269(q)  Overhead lines and live-line bare hand work\n1910.269(r)  Line-clearance tree trimming\n1910.269(t)  Underground electrical installations\n1910.269(u)  Substations\n1910.269(v)  Power Generation\n1910.269(w)  Special Conditions\n1910.269(x)  Definitions\nAnnexes\n\n\nARC FLASH PROTECTIONArc Rated Clothing\, Face Protection\, Hand Protection\, Head Protection\, Foot Protection\, Other Protection\nUNDERSTANDING ARC FLASH LABELS FOR EQUIPMENT(not an OSHA 1910.269 requirement)\nANSI Z535 Signal Words and Colors\, NFPA 70E Minimum Label Requirements\, Simplified Labeling\nARC FLASH HAZARD CALCULATION STUDY FOR PPE SELECTIONIEEE 1584 Calculations\, Arc Pro\, NESC Tables\, EPRI Research\nQUIZ

SUMMARY:Grounding\, Bonding and Power Quality
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT JIM\n					 \nNational Electrical Code Article 250 can be one of the most confusing parts of the NEC.  This class teaches you the fundamentals of the grounding and bonding requirements based on the National Electrical for electrical power systems.  Learn about the grounding electrode system\, equipment grounding\, bonding jumpers and more.  Understand why substations have ground grids to minimize touch and step potential.  See what the requirements are for separately derived systems and how incorrect grounding can lead to ground loops which can create hazardous conditions.  Many power quality issues can be traced to incorrect grounding.  IEEE Standard 1100 defines requirements for grounding and bonding sensitive electronic equipment.  Power Quality is a broad term used to describe the health of a power system’s voltage and current. Spikes\, sags\, surges\, noise and other events can disrupt the operation of critical systems. Many power quality problems can be attributed to improper or incorrect grounding. \nIn this\, Jim shows you the correct grounding and bonding requirements to minimize or reduce power quality problems as well as how to identify and solve common power quality problems. \nJim has developed this course based on over 30 years of extensive experience in conducting numerous power quality studies for industrial\, commercial and utility power systems. \nWhat You Will Receive\n• Training manuals of 5 modules containing almost 500 pages• Jim’s short circuit calculation worksheets• Harmonic analysis and design worksheets• Access to Technical articles• Many calculation examples and problems• 32 hours of Continuing Education Credit \nHave This Class On-Site at Your Location\nYou can also have this class conducted on-site at your location.  Contact our Program Director at 800.874.8883 to see about having Jim teach this class to your staff at your company’s facilities.  Contact us for your custom on-site training proposal. \nGROUNDING\, BONDING AND POWER QUALITY – INTRODUCTION\nSENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT GROUNDING \n\nIEEE Std. 1100 Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment\nSignal Reference Subsystem\nEquipontential Grounding\nSeparation of Loads\, Lighting/Surge GroundingIsolated Ground Design\, Shielded Transformers\n\nBASIC CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS \n\nEffective Ground Fault Current Path\nEquipment Grounding Conductor\nSeparately Derived System\nGround Fault Circuit Interrupter\nGrounding Electrode and Grounding\nElectrode Conductor\n\nGROUNDING ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR \n\nNEC Table 250.66\nSizing the Grounding Electrode Conductor\nSupplemental Electrode Requirements\nExceptions to NEC Table 250.66\nGrounding Multiple Overhead Services\nExample Problems\n\nGROUNDING AND BONDING REQUIREMENTS \n\nElectrical System Grounding\nGrounding of Electrical Equipment\nBonding of Electrical Equipment\nBonding of Electrically Conductive Material\nEffective Ground Fault Current Path\nUngrounded System Grounding and\nBonding Requirements\n\nEQUIPMENT GROUNDING AND BONDING \n\nPurpose of Equipment Grounding\nNEC Table 250.122\nConductor Selection vs. Overcurrent Device Size\nConduit as the Equipment Ground\n\nBONDING JUMPER \n\nNEC Table 250.102(C)(1)\nMain Bonding Jumper\nSystem Bonding Jumper\nSupply Side Bonding Jumper\nCorrelation Between Bonding Jumper and\nFault Current\n\nGROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM \n\nGround Rod\, Metal Water Pipe\, Building Steel\nConcrete Encased Electrode\, Ground Ring\nElectrolytic Ground\, Ground Resistance Requirements\n\nGROUNDING AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY \n\nShock and Electrocution Current\nPhysiological Response to Electric Current\nImportance of Grounding and Electrical Safety\n\n  \nPOWER QUALITY ANALYSIS \n\nDefinition of Power Quality\, Wave Characteristics\nSags/Swells\, Grounding and Objectionable Current\nNoise\, EMI\, Ground Loops\n\nSEPARATELY DERIVED SYSTEMS \n\nService Entrance\, Transformers\, UPS\, Generators and 3 pole vs. 4 pole transfer switches and Ground Loops\,\nServing Two or More Buildings from One Source\n\nGROUNDING TO EARTH \n\nGround Resistance\, Soil Resistivity\, Ground Resistance Measurements\, Grounding and Corrosion\nGround Grids\, Touch and Step Potential\n\nTELECOMMUNICATION GROUNDING AND BONDING \n\nTelecom Main Grounding Bus bar (TMGB)\nTelecom Bonding Backbone (TBB)\nTelecom Bus Bar (TGB)\nTelecom Closet and Equipment Room\n\nNATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE \n\nArticle 250 Overview – Parts and Sections\nScope of Article 250\nOrganization of Article 250\n\nSUBSTATION GROUNDING \n\nBonding of Fences and Other Metal Structures\nTouch and Step Potential\n\nTYPES OF SYSTEM GROUNDING \n\nSolid and High Impedance Grounding\nGrounded B Phase\, Ground Detection\n\nPOWER QUALITY SITE SURVEY \n\nSurvey Objectives\, Measurements\, Inspection\, Test\nEquipment\, Analysis\n\n																										 \nAttend This Class to See How To: \n\nComply with NEC Article 250\nUnderstand Grounding and Bonding\nKnow the Grounding Electrode System Requirements\nSelect Main\, System and Supply Side Bonding Jumpers\nUnderstand Ground Loops and Power Quality\nBond Separately Derived Systems\nUnderstand Substation Grounding and Step and Touch Potential

SUMMARY:NFPA 70E - 2021 -Awareness Training – 1/2 Day
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT JIM\n					 \nThis half day NFPA 70E awareness class provides an overview of electrical hazards such as electric shock\, arc flash and others and covers the major topics found in NFPA 70E  including PPE selection and energized work permits. \nThe ½ day format allows employers to divide their staff into two groups with one group attending the morning session and the other group attending the afternoon session.  This class provides an excellent introduction to the electrical safety principles and practices. \nJim Phillips is not just another trainer reading a script.   Jim’s training is based on his insider’s view from holding many leadership positions for the development of various electrical safety standards coupled with his arc flash testing experience and broad electrical power background.  This provides him a unique perspective from the inside – a perspective he loves sharing with others. When asked questions about some topics\, his explanations often run along the line of “Well\, here’s what happened in the lab when we blew it up…” \nHere is a sample of Jim’s involvement. \n♦ Vice Chair – IEEE 1584 – IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Calculations♦ International Chair – Geneva\, Switzerland based\,  IEC TC78 Live Working – 40+ global standards including many for arc flash.♦ NFPA 70E Technical Committee Member♦ IEEE/NFPA Arc Flash Collaborative Research Project – Member of the Steering Committee♦ Author of Complete Guide to Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculation Studies \nWatch Jim explain why electrical equipment’s doors are not considered as protection from an arc flash. One of his arc flash tests illustrates how doors can blow open during an arc flash. \n\n\nINTRODUCTION\nHUMAN EFFECTSPhysiological Effects\, Tissue Damage\, Internal Organ Damage\, Burns\, Fibrillation\, “Curable” 2nd Degree Burn Requirements\, Arc Blast Pressure\, Sound Pressure\, Incident Energy and 1.2 Calories/cm2\nCODES AND STANDARDSOSHA 29 CFR – Part 1910\, Subpart S\, NFPA 70\, National Electrical Code®\, 2012 NFPA 70E\, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace\, IEEE Standard 1584™\, IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations\, Legal Requirements\, Liability\nCATEGORIES OF ELECTRICAL HAZARDSElectric Shock\, Arc Flash\, Arc Blast\, Sound Pressure\, Shrapnel\, UV Light\nQUALIFIED PERSONNFPA 70E Definition\, Trained and Knowledgeable Requirements\, Identifies Hazards\,\nSHOCK RISK ASSESSMENTDefining Limited and Restricted Approach Boundaries\, Voltage Exposure\, PPE\nELECTRICALLY SAFE WORKING CONDITIONSteps to Establish Condition\, Methods Used\, PPE to be Worn During Procedure\nARC FLASH RISK ASSESSMENTDefining the Arc Flash Boundary and Protective Clothing Requirements\nENERGIZED ELECTRICAL WORK PERMITPurpose of Permit\, Data Required\, Approvals Process\nARC FLASH BOUNDARYAFB Definition\, Purpose\, How to Determine\, Work Within the Arc Flash Boundary\nNFPA 70E PPE CATEGORIESDefining the PPE Category using NFPA 70E Tables\, PPE Category 1\, 2\, 3\, 4 Requirements\, Limitations of Tables\, Using Calculations Instead\, PPE Category Tables for DC arc flash\nARC RATED CLOTHING AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SELECTIONProtective Clothing\, Face Protection\, Hand Protection\, Foot Protection\, Limitations\nARC FLASH WARNING LABELSNFPA 70E Requirements\, ANSI Z535\, Signal Words\, Information to List on the Label\n\n																										 \nWhy is NFPA 70E Such an Important Standard?\nAccording to OSHA 1910.132(d) The employer is responsible to assess the hazards in the work place\, select\, have\, and use the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and document the assessment. The use of NFPA 70E and other related industry consensus standards has been used to demonstrate whether an employer acted reasonably when there is a possible OSHA enforcement action taken. \nSo although NFPA 70E is not directly part of OSHA standards\, it can be used as evidence of whether an employer acted reasonably in complying with OSHA standards and addressing “recognized hazards”. \nThere are more specific links within the OSHA standards as well. A typical example is found in 1910.335\, Safeguards for personnel protection which requires: “(a)(1)(i) Employees working in areas where there are potential electrical hazards shall be provided with\, and shall use\, electrical protective equipment that is appropriate for the specific parts of the body to be protected and for the work to be performed.” \nThis regulation requires that employees must be properly protected from potential electrical hazards\, by using adequate PPE\, but it does not provide specific detail of what specific personal protective equipment is necessary to achieve the objective. NFPA 70E is used to define the specific details and requirements.

How do you perform lighting calculations? Learn some of the “tricks of the trade” when it comes to electrical design. This class is also part of the week long “Power System Engineering” class that is held publicly several times a year. \nJim has developed this course based on 40 years of extensive experience with industrial\, commercial and utility power systems and standards development.  He is not just another trainer reading a script.   Jim’s training is based on his insider’s view from being very active with many different standards committees which provides him with the unique perspective\, literally from the inside.  Coupled with his broad electrical power background\,  he loves sharing his experience and insider’s view with others.  Even instructors from other training companies have attended Jim’s classes to see how it’s done. You will learn power system design as well as conduct a short circuit and coordination study and design harmonic filters. \nThis class also makes a great Professional Engineering Exam Review! \n					\n									ABOUT JIM\n					 \nCLASS AGENDA\nDAY 1 – POWER SYSTEM DESIGN \n													\n																										 \n\nINTRODUCTIONIntroduction to Electrical Power System Design\, Electrical Safety Considerations\, Electrical Codes and Standards\, Economic Considerations of Design\nTYPES OF SYSTEM DESIGNSRadial Distribution Systems\, Networks\, Double Ended Substation\, Primary Selective Systems\, Loop System\nVOLTAGE SELECTIONSelecting the Appropriate Voltage\, 120/240V\, 208Y/120V\, 480Y/277V Systems\, Medium Voltage Selection\, Delta vs. Wye Configurations\, Voltage Drop Calculations\nLOAD CALCULATIONSGeneral Lighting Load Calculations\, Appliance Loads\, Receptacles Load Calculations\, National Electrical Code Article 220 Requirements\, VA per Square ft.\, Continuous vs. Non-Continuous\, Demand Factors\, Panel Schedules\nCONDUCTORSConductor Selection\, Conduit Sizing\, Insulation Type\, Correction Factors\, Temperature Considerations\, Neutral and Ground Conductors\nPANELBOARDSPanelboard Sizing and Ratings\, 80 percent vs. 100 percent ratings\, Series Rated vs. Fully Rated Panels.\nSWITCHBOARDSBus Ratings\, Breaker and Fuse Selection\, Bus Bracing\, AIC\, Layout\, Series Ratings\, Bus Structure\, 6 Disconnect Rule\nLIGHTING DESIGNZonal Cavity Lighting Calculations\, Lighting Layout\nCASE PROBLEMSmall Industrial Switchboard Circuit Design\n\nDAY 2 – POWER SYSTEM DESIGN\n													\n																										 \n\nTRANSFORMERSTypes of Transformers\, Dry-Type\, Liquid Filled\, Cast Coil Designs\, Temperation Ratings\, Fan Cooling\, Insulation Characteristics\, Percent Impedance\,  K Factor\, Transformer Protection Based on NEC® Article 450\, Inrush Current\, In Class Problems\, Sizing and Protecting Transformers\nMOTOR CIRCUITSNEC® Article 430 Requirements\, Motor Nameplate Full Load Amps vs. NEC Table’s Full Load Amps\, Locked Rotor and Overload Protection\, Insulation Class / Service Factor\, Motor Tables\, Sizing of Feeders\, Protection\, Motor Short Circuit Protection\, In Class Problems – Designing Motor Circuits\nGROUNDINGGrounding Electrode System Requirements\, Equipment Grounding Conductor Selection\, Separately Derived Systems\, NEC® Article 250\, Solidly Ground and Un-Grounded Systems\, High Resistance Grounding\, Ground\, Ground Loops and Power Quality Issues\nHAZARDOUS/CLASSIFIED LOCATIONSClass I\, II\, and III\, Divisions and Groups\, Explosion Proof Equipment\, Intrinsically Safe Circuits\nLIGHTNING PROTECTIONConcept of Lightning Protection\, Air Terminals\, Conductors\, NFPA 780 Requirements\nGENERATORSEmergency Vs.
