Overview
This Engspace will examine AS/NZS 61439-1 Appendix-ZD and IEC 61641 Internal Arc Fault Tests to discuss the types of tests, testing requirements, and the outcomes that are achieved for low voltage switchboards from both standards. There will also be an examination of IEC TS 63107 arc fault mitigation systems for low voltage switchboards. The last part of the night will be to examine IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations, as a conclusion there will be a brief comparison of the mechanical construction methods of AS/NZS and IEC engineered approach to containment VS the PPE exposed Arc-Flash solution proposed by IEEE.
