Mike Bahr brings over four decades of experience in the electrical field to his presentations and
programs to help people avoid the pain and suffering of workplace injury to electrical workers.
Mike developed an interest in electrical safety after several serious arc flash incidents occurred at the
facility where he worked early in his career. Since then he has dedicated his career to the safety
profession and has specialized in the area of Arc Flash Safety. Mike has developed and presented arc
flash training worldwide and is a former principal member of the NFPA 70E committee (Electrical
Safety Related Work Practices). Mike also served as the principal investigator for the development of
the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Electrical Safety Program.

Latest requirement of NFPA 70E –Standard / IEEE 1584-2018-IEEE Guide & ARC FLASH CALCULATION

This 3-day masterclass will review all of the significant changes to both NFPA 70E-Standard for Electrical Safety in
the Workplace and IEEE 1584-2018-IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations.

Arc Advisor: (Each participant will be receiving Arcadvisor software tools F.O.C to use during the course and to keep for
own subsequently use)
Participants will be given worksheets with a sample one-line diagrams with the information needed to perform short circuit
current calculations. This will provide participant with hands-on experience on determine incident energy, arc flash
protection boundaries and complete the arc flash warning label for each location by using the Arcadvisor software. They
will also select the proper PPE required to protect exposed workers.

Will this course benefit company that are currently have an existing software such as ETAP, SKM or Easy Power?
There are major changes to IEEE 1584. The changes include equations for 5 different electrode configurations, choices for
enclosure sizes, an enclosure correction factor calculation to adjust for enclosure sizes, and the grounded vs. ungrounded
difference has been eliminated. Those that are currently using commercially available software for performing arc flash
hazard analysis will need to be aware of these major changes in the calculations. Participants will also learn how to
properly obtain the necessary data based on the latest requirements to accurately represent the system under study.

MASTER the necessary knowledge and complexities of:

• Define arc flash assessment methods
• How to choose between the table method and the calculation method of arc flash hazards assessment
• Identify when to use single phase vs three phase calculations
• Understand changes to IEEE 1584
• When to use ArcPro (utility) Vs IEEE 1584 (utilization)
• Requirements of NFPA® 70E (2018)
• Arc flash clothing requirements
• Calculation methods (hand calculations or commercial software)
• Limiting arc exposure / Training requirements for exposed employees

The trainer will answer important questions regarding arc flash hazard assessment, including, but not limited to:
• What regulations require arc flash assessment?
• What methods are available to perform arc flash hazard analysis? / Are all my employees exposed?
• What type of work exposes an employee to a reasonable likelihood that an arc flash could occur?
• Should I use the table method or calculation method?
• After the assessment, what clothing is required?
• What information is required to given to my contractors? / Are my work practices compliant?
• What are the circumstances for performing energized work?
• Do I need a work permit for all electrical work?
• What is “normal operation” of equipment? / Can employees work alone?
• What is the difference between a shock and an arc boundary?
• Are arc flash labels required? What information is required to be on them

This program is intended for:

The current challenges, especially for the electrical personnel (competent personnel as to meet the latest
requirements stipulated by the Electricity Act and Regulations), who is normally may not be fully equipped with
much knowledge, experience and familiarization on the right approach on handling Arc flash, and as a result
may not be fully capable in rectifying problems of arc flash under their care. This often results in extra cost
incurred by engaging external expertise to rectify the problems that arises.
• Plant, facility, and electrical engineers / Process engineers / Power system engineers
• Consulting, utility and industrial engineers responsible for arc hazard analysis in the selection of protective
equipment and clothing
• Safety officers and program managers
• Utility Engineers needing in-depth understanding of arc hazard assessment and analysis
• Engineers that are currently using commercially available software (ETAP or Easy power) for performing arc flash
hazard analysis will need to be aware of the major changes in the calculations. (Due to major changes to IEEE 1584)
• The NFPA 70E requires employees working on or near energized equipment of 50 volts or more be NFPA
70E Arc Flash trained, this includes anyone who is:
o Installing/Maintaining Electrical Equipment / Maintaining Plant or Facility Lighting Installing/Replacing Motors/ Adjusting
Motor Overloads / Replacing Fuses / Repairing Motor Controls / Installing/Maintaining HVAC Equipment / Working on Plant
or Building Generators / Troubleshooting Plant or Building Electrical Problems / Managing or Supervising Maintenance
Operations, etc.
