Arc Flash Calculation Course

[Dan A]

I'm looking for a course, preferably online, for Arc Flash Calculation that is very thorough. Any suggestion would be helpful. I'm new to Electrical Engineering and not familiar with these companies/courses and don't know the quality of their work.

Did you do any per unit power calculation in college or fault analysis?

Most comprehensive courses are offered by the software vendors.

No. I'm in a unique situation. Made a career change from Math/Comp Sci teacher to Electrical Engineering. I have a Masters Degree in Mathematics.

What are popular software used.

We use SKM primarily, but also use ETAP and EasyPower.
Power Systems Studies is a great career choice.

If the goal is to get your state professional engineering license:

University of Wisconsin Madison offers post grad courses on different power related electrical engineering topics. They might have one on fault analysis which would be the best place to start. I have taken their substation design class and protection. It was great.

Arc Flash is the application of fault analysis. Most of the time you start with a worst case and then bring that number down.

Any book on the per-unit method would help.
