About this Event
Duration: 3 days
Location: Warrendale, PA
Credits: 2.4 CEUs
Target audience
Power system engineers, field service engineers, application engineers, sales engineers, technicians and others who want a solid understanding of protective device coordination and arc flash analysis.
Learning objective
This course will verify and validate technical knowledge of engineers who perform or would like to perform power system analyses on a regular basis. Upon successful completion, attendees will be able to identify the settings of protective devices to properly protect a power distribution system per the National Electric Code (NFPA 70), demonstrate coordination analysis skills in a small power distribution system by reading manufacturers' time current curves and drawing system time current curves, and apply IEEE and NFPA standards at various locations within a power distribution system to calculate the incident energy during a worst case arc flash event.
Abstract
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to use manufacturer time current curves to coordinate a power distribution system and protect the distribution equipment from available faults and overloads. This program also ensures attendees can use the latest IEEE 1584 equations to calculate the incident energy in an arcing fault situation.
Course topics include:
- Equipment damage curves
- Protective device curves
- Arc flash analysis
- Time current curves
Arriving at our Training Centers
Gaining Access:
Upon arriving at our training center, proceed to the entrance marked "Entrance 1 (EESSD)". The door to enter the building is locked. Our staff will greet you upon arrival and take you to the appropriate training area.

Please do NOT wear shorts, open-toed shoes, or loose clothing that can get caught on equipment in the lab spaces.
Safety:
Our labs are working labs, as well as training and testing spaces. Equipment may or may not be energized with control voltages as well as three phase power. We ask that you do not open or operate any equipment within the facility without discussing with your host. Eaton staff will provide you with information on gathering points, as well as exit paths at the start of your event.
Customized Training Available
In addition, Eaton can customize training specific for your organization on a variety of other topics. To learn more visit www.eaton.com/electricalworkertraining or email [email protected].
