Industry Backs IEEE-NFPA Arc Flash Testing Program With Initial Donations
Of $1.25 Million
A multi-year initiative by the IEEE and the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) to gain a better understanding of arc flash hazards
and how to protect electrical workers against them has received an initial
$1.25 million in contributions from industry.
Three major donations have been received: $500,000 from Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. (UL), $500,000 from Bruce Power, and $250,000 from Hydro One Networks,
Inc. An additional $5 million is needed to fully fund the IEEE/NFPA Arc
Flash Collaborative Research and Testing Project. Electrical utilities,
process industries, equipment manufacturers, professional associations,
safety-related agencies, insurers and others concerned with the safety
of electrical workers are being asked to contribute to the project..

1100-2005 EMERALD BOOK
IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment
The IEEE Emerald Book presents a collection of consensus best practices
for the powering and grounding of electronic equipment used in commercial
and industrial applications. The main objective is to provide consensus
recommended practices in an area where conflicting information and conflicting
design philosophies have dominated. The recommended practices described
are intended to enhance equipment performance while maintaining a safe
installation.

IEEE Standard for Interrupter Switches for Alternating Current, Rated
Above 1000 Volts
This standard applies to switching devices, interrupters, and interrupter
switches (as defined in IEEE Std C37.100-1992) for alternating current,
rated above 1000 volts and used indoors, outdoors, or in enclosures for
which a switching rating is to be assigned.While this standard covers
the basic requirements of interrupter switches used indoors, outdoors,
and in enclosures, other standards such as IEEE Std C37.20.2-1993, IEEE
Std C37.20.3-1987, IEEE Std C37.20.4-1996, IEEE Std C37.71-1984.

IEEE Standard for Performance of Adjustable Speed AC Drives Rated 375
kW and Larger
This standard applies to AC adjustable speed drive (ASD) systems rated
over 375 kW and above 750 V output voltage as used in petrochemical and
similar applications. It covers the performance requirements for an ASD
system including, but not limited to, input transformer or reactor as
required, power electronics, control interfaces, cooling system, switchgear,
and motor.
Requirements for power quality, engineering analysis, start-up assistance,
training, and spare parts are also included. Certain items such as the
motor, switchgear or transformer may be excluded from the scope of vendor
supply if so specified in the data sheets; however the system vendor shall
specify any special requirements for the equipment thus excluded.

Electrical Safety Code and Handbook Set
2007 NESC: This standard covers basic provisions for safeguarding
of persons from hazards arising from the installation, operation, or maintenance
of 1) conductors and equipment in electric supply stations, and 2) overhead
and underground electric supply and communication lines. It also includes
work rules for the construction, maintenance, and operation of electric
supply and communication lines and equipment. The standard is applicable
to the systems and equipment operated by utilities, or similar systems
and equipment, of an industrial establishment or complex under the control
of qualified persons. This standard consists of the introduction, definitions,
grounding rules, list of referenced and bibliographic documents, and Parts
1, 2, 3, and 4 of the 2007 Edition of the National Electrical Safety Code.
2007 NESC Handbook: This IEEE product is part of the family on
NESCs. The NESC Handbook is a powerful tool that pulls together facts,
figures, and explanations that help you effectively implement the Code.
Authored by Allen L. Clapp, the NESC Handbook covers NESC various requirements
up to 2007, detailing important work rules and a historical perspective
of the Code.
