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: IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations
  • 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.

Scope

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.

Purpose

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.

Developing Standards Takes a Large Team

As Vice-Chair of this Working Group, I can confidently state that developing a standard requires a large team of dedicated individuals—many meetings, countless emails, task groups, document reviews, and more.

A sincere thank you to everyone involved in bringing this important standard to completion. Those involved are listed in the standard with the page shown here.
