¿Mirar el equipo de frente o de espaldas durante el cambio?

30 de noviembre de 2016

Weekly Question: This week’s question was submitted from one of our forum members. I will post it here When locking out or resetting a tripped breaker on a CAT 4 system (actually extreme danger), I have one electrician that says he feels more comfortable facing the distribution than facing away. He argues that the shield will protect him better than the Balaclava. He also says that the force needed to reset a tripped (1200 Amp) breaker is easier when facing

Prueba de pértiga caliente

28 de noviembre de 2016

Question: Everyone, I got this question from a client. He asked if it’s necessary to have their hot sticks tested? Understand this company has nothing higher than 480 volts on site and only uses these hot sticks to switch on and off 480 volt 30- to 200 amp bus duct fused disconnect switches. The bus in this factory is hanging well above the floor. If an employee needs to reach a bus plug, he uses a hot stick to access

¿Hasta dónde llegarías?

28 de septiembre de 2016

All – I found this installation the other day while in an area I am not officially in charge of. I called the person in charge and recommended he have it removed form service that day before something bad happened. Obviously that didn’t happen. If your electrician installed this would he still be working for you? How about his supervisor who did not have it removed? The other option would be I’m the crazy one and it’s no big deal.

Mangas cortas versus mangas largas

21 de septiembre de 2016

La planta industrial en la que trabajo tiene una política que exige que se usen mangas largas cuando se está dentro de una sala eléctrica. Ayer tuvimos nuestro "día frío" anual, en el que todos los generadores de turbinas están fuera de servicio y estamos desconectados de la red eléctrica. Durante ese período, es una práctica común que los electricistas usen solo mangas cortas. Sin embargo, no parece haber una política en las instalaciones al respecto, por lo que alguien hizo un escándalo y tenemos que aclarar la política.

Factor X para interruptores de desconexión

1 de agosto de 2016

Hello What is the optimal X factor for disconnect switches. I assumed it is 2 because that’s the default value that ETAP gives you. Am I correct for assuming this? Furthermore, It falls under the low voltage category (0.208-1), so it can be the value for MCC’s and panels which is 1.473. Which value is optimal for Arc Flash calculations? Thanks READ MORE

Selección de EPP al interactuar con equipos no etiquetados

1 de agosto de 2016

Hi All, To put my question in context, I train Industrial Maintenance and Construction Electricians at a Community College. Some of the students are new to the field and are receiving training to gain employment. Many of the students are already employed and are taking classes to enhance their skill set. Many of these folks are involved with service work that takes them to a variety of locations from 7-11s to industrial sites. Where I am troubled is how to

Capacitación sobre arco eléctrico: cómo mantener actualizadas las habilidades en una economía en crisis

diciembre 30, 2011

Electrical Power Training and Arc Flash Training remain even more important in a down economy. What if you had been stranded on a deserted island for the past five years? By the time you were rescued, you would have missed the explosion of social media usage, including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, as well as advancements in smart grids and wind and solar energy—it would be more than you could imagine. You may think, “How could the industry have changed so

Artículo del Reino Unido: Arco eléctrico: no solo un peligro de electrocución (parte 3)

octubre 10, 2009

Arc Flash – The need for risk assessment is embodied in European Law through directive 89/391 and is transposed into UK Law through Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations. Most people are familiar with the general principles of prevention as laid down in these documents and in other UK regulations. They say that “Where an employer implements any preventative measures, he shall do so on the basis of the principles of prevention” shown below. The authors discuss how

¿Cómo llegamos hasta aquí? La historia de la seguridad eléctrica

julio 28, 2009

Parece que cuanto más se intenta aprender sobre arcos eléctricos y seguridad eléctrica, más confuso se vuelve. Una mezcla de letras como OSHA, NFPA 70E, NEC, IEEE 1584, ASTM F1506 parece ser el lenguaje secreto que utiliza la industria de la seguridad eléctrica. ¿Quién creó esta sopa de letras de normas y cómo llegamos hasta aquí?
