He is actively involved with most U.S. and International Arc Flash and Electrical Safety Standards. Jim is at the forefront of electrical safety as Vice-Chair of IEEE 1584, Technical Committee NFPA 70E and International Chair of IEC TC78 Live Working and Arc Flash. He explains the subject from the perspective of “Here is what happened in the lab when we blew it up.”
For more than four decades, Jim has been helping tens of thousands of people around the world understand electrical power system design, analysis and safety. Having taught thousands of training programs during his career to people from all seven continents (Yes Antarctica is included!), he has developed a reputation for being one of the best trainers and public speakers in the electric power industry.
Learn about the major changes to the 2024 Edition of NFPA 70E as well as receive refresher training about electrical safety and the NFPA 70E requirements.
NFPA 70E states that retraining in safety-related work practices and applicable changes in this standard shall be performed at intervals not to exceed 3 years. Complete this NFPA 70E requirement now by learning about the major changes to the 2024 Edition of NFPA 70E as well as receive refresher training about electrical safety.
0.8 CEUs / 8 PDHs and a Certificate are included.
This 8 hour on-demand class goes deep into the practical application of the 2024 Edition of NFPA 70E. Taught by Jim Phillips, P.E., this on-demand contains 32 modules that take you beyond the “how to” and also discusses the “why” regarding the requirements based on his four decades of industry and standards development experience.
Learn about electrical hazards, hierarchy of risk control methods, establishing and verifying an electrically safe work condition, energized electrical work permits, shock and arc flash risk assessments, PPE selection using incident energy and PPE categories, arc flash (equipment) warning labels and more!
0.8 CEUs / 8 PDHs and a Certificate are included.
This 2 hour class is a “Crash Course” for NFPA 70E and Electrical Safety. The class addresses many important electrical safety topics for those that need a quick refresher or an introduction to the fundamentals.
It includes changes based on the 2024 Edition of NFPA 70E such as: Clarification of location for testing absence of voltage, Revised Approach Boundaries, Addition of “Rated for Available Fault Current” to Normal Operation, New Label durability requirements, Hearing protection required when within (not working within) Arc Flash Boundary, Clarification of Gauntlet and Cuff for gloves.
0.2 CEUs / 2 PDHs and a Certificate are included.
This one-day class is designed to teach the skills required to enter secured areas. The course covers federal regulations related to entering a secured area; minimum approach distances or clearances; personal protective equipment; job briefings; substation entrance procedures; and opening padmount transformers, switchgear and metering compartments. Employees typically open and/or view electrical equipment in secured areas to take information off of nameplates, readings from meters or gauges, etc.

How to Perform an Arc Flash Hazard Calculation Study using IEEE 1584 and DC Calculations In this two day arc flash training class, Jim Phillips, P.E. shows you how to perform arc flash calculations and conduct the comprehensive arc flash study. You will perform calculations of incident energy, arcing current, arc flash boundary and DC arc flash using Jim’s calculation worksheets. You will see how to simplify the arc flash study and arc flash labeling as well as understand how to properly model the system.
1.6 CEUs / 16 PDHs and a Certificate are included.
Jim is the International Chairman of Geneva, Switzerland based International Electro-Technical Commission’s TC 78 for Live Working which includes protective equipment, tools and arc flash protection. He continues to travel the globe typically flying over 150,000 miles a year to work with various U.S. and international standards organizations and speak at many conferences and training events.
Jim and his wife of four decades live in Scottsdale, Arizona and have two children and one grandson.
