IEEE 1584.2 was recently published!

The full title is:

IEEE Guide and Checklists for Data Collection for Performing an Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation Study in Accordance with IEEE Std 1584™ and IEEE Std 1584.1™ for Systems Operating at Three-Phase 50/60 Hz AC 1000 V and Below

This newest addition to the IEEE 1584 family complements the existing standards:

• IEEE 1584 – 2018: Guía IEEE para realizar cálculos de riesgo de arco eléctrico
• IEEE 1584.1 – 2022: IEEE Guide for the Specification of Scope and Deliverable Requirements for an Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation Study in Accordance with IEEE Std 1584™

Originally published in 2002, IEEE 1584 is used to calculated arcing fault current, incident energy and the arc flash boundary which are a necessary part of an Arc Flash Risk Assessment as required by NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

Alcance

This guide provides guidance and checklists for collecting the data required to perform an arc-flash hazard calculation study in accordance with the process defined in IEEE Std 1584-2018 for systems operating at three-phase 50/60 Hz AC, 1000 V and below.

Objetivo

The purpose of this guide is to provide standardized guidance and checklists to harmonize the collection of data needed when conducting an arc-flash hazard calculation study.
