IEEE 1584

IEEE 1584
IEEE Std 1584-2002 (Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations) is a standard of the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers that provides a method of calculating the incident energy of arc flash event.

Purpose
IEEE 1584-2002 was developed to help protect people from arc-flash hazard dangers. The predicted arc current and
incident energy are used in selecting appropriate overcurrent protective devices and personal protective
Equipment (generally abbreviated as PPE), as well as defining safe working distance. Since the magnitude of the arc
current is inherently linked with the degree of arc hazard, the arc is examined as a circuit parameter. Furthermore,
since estimation are often useful, simple equations for predicting estimated arc current, arc power, and incident energy
values and probable ranges are presented in this work.

Procedure
Arc flash hazard calculations are currently implemented in most of the industry plants due to OSHA regulations.[2]
