WHO IS QUALIFIED IN PERFORMING THE ARC FLASH SURVEYS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE NFPA?? IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL BE GIVING SEMINARS ON IN THE FUTURE SO WE CAN CONDUCT SURVEY OURSELVES?

Re: ARC FLASH SURVEY

Dahner, please turn off you caps, it makes it appear as though you are yelling.

Mike Holt makes this site available to us but is not a regular poster, (although at any given time he might show) so you will probably be answered by someone else.

Let me start, (surprise ;) ) If you understand the calculations and formulas, there is nothing I know of prohibiting you from deciding the PPE required.

Am I missing your point?

Re: ARC FLASH SURVEY

OSHA enforces the NFPA 70E standard. There is nothing to prevent anyone from performing these analysis if they have familiarized themselves with the process.
Although I've wondered if at some point it may require a PE seal for liability purposes. But at this point, since anyone can perform a short circuit and coordination study, then anyone can do arc flash.
