What Does NFPA 70E Say?: What Does NFPA 70E Say? NFPA 70E, Part II, 2-1.3.3 “A flash hazard analysis shall be done before a person approaches any exposed electrical conductor or circuit part that has not been placed in an electrically safe work condition.”What Does National Electric Code (NEC) Say?: What Does National Electric Code (NEC) Say? NEC 110.16 States Equipment must be marked to warn qualified persons of potential electrical arc flash hazards.Results of Arc Flash Analysis: Results of Arc Flash Analysis Flash Protection Boundary Incident Arc Energy Hazard Level for PPE Arc Flash Principles: Arc Flash Principles Radiated Energy From Flash Radiated Energy Function of Arc Power Distance From Arc Time to Extinguish Arc Arc Power Function of Arc Voltage & Arc Current Arc Voltage Function of Arc GapIncident Arc Energy: Incident Arc Energy The amount of energy impressed on a surface, a certain distance from the source, generated during an arc event.Arc Flash Boundary: Arc Flash Boundary A distance from exposed live parts within which a person could receive a second degree burn.
