P1584
Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations
This guide provides calculation models and analytical processes for determining the predicted incident thermal energy and the arc-flash boundary. The guide covers electrical equipment and conductors for three-phase alternating current (ac) systems with nominal voltages ranging from 208 V to 15 kV. However, this guide does not include calculations for single-phase ac systems, direct current (dc) systems, short circuit or overcurrent protective device coordination studies, or recommendations for personal protective equipment (PPE).
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
1584.1-2022
IEEE Guide for the Specification of Scope and Deliverable Requirements for an Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation Study in Accordance with IEEE Std 1584
Guidance for the specification and performance of an arc-flash hazard calculation study, in accordance with the process defined in IEEE Std 1584, is provided in this document. The minimum recommended requirements to enable the owner to specify an arc-flash hazard calculation study, including scope of work and associated deliverables, is outlined.
1584.2-2025
IEEE Approved Draft Guide and Checklists for the Data Collection for Performing an Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation Study in Accordance with IEEE Std. 1584™ and IEEE Std.1584.1™ for Systems Operating at Three-Phase 50/60 Hz Alternating Current (AC) 1000 V and below
Guidance for the checklists and collection of data required for performing an arc-flash hazard calculation study, in accordance with the process defined in IEEE Std 1584™, is provided in this document. The focus is on three-phase 50/60 Hz alternating current (ac) systems operating at 1000 V and below.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
1584-2002
IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations
