This guide provides different good practices for establishing, implementing, and maintaining arc flash electrical safety programs for substations and underground and overhead electric lines and any associated equipment (ac and dc). The guide provides different good practices that can be applied at multiple stages: during the development of a business plan in the early stages, during gap analysis, arc flash studies in ac and dc electrical systems (operating at 50 V and up to 800 kV ac and +/- 800 kV dc), and development of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) programs, as well as during the development of work procedures, hazard analysis, risk mitigation, program governance, and sustainability.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
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.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
