Going the Distance for Arc Flash Safety: An Introduction to Remote Racking and Switching
This presentation will introduce how remote racking and switching can be used for arc flash risk reduction. In addition, we will review how changes to arc flash calculations (from 2018’s update to IEEE 1584) may be impacting incident energy values on electrical switchgear.

10 Steps to Effective Arc Flash Assessment
Developing and implementing an arc flash risk assessment program that meets the requirements of IEEE 1584, NFPA 70E, and OSHA Standard 29 is challenging. Meeting these requirements on a constrained budget and with limited manpower requires proper planning and execution. We outline a commonsense approach.

I-GARD SMART HRG Technology: maximizing protection, ensuring process continuity
Our presenter will go over fundamentals of High Resistance Grounding (HRG) systems, relevant standards to this technology, conversion and comparison between grounding methods, differences versus a standard HRG system, typical configurations. You will learn more about the benefits of the I-Gard SMART HRG system in terms of increased electrical safety for your personnel and system operation.
High Resistance Grounding is a proven technology that provides process continuity even under a single ground fault condition. The SMART HRG from I-Gard is the only HRG system that ensures continuity of your processes. It offers feeder indication and second fault protection which ensures that your most critical process is operational at all times, providing an opportunity for increased revenue.
The SMART HRG solution offers the benefits of the HRG technology and Arc Flash Mitigation functions in the same system. Once a certain level of light produced by an arc flash event is detected, the I-Gard sensors react in 1 milliseconds sending a trip signal to the relay. Detecting and interrupting an arc flash as quickly as possible reduces the incident energy levels and ensures workplace safety.
