Learn the new changes to the 2009 NFPA 70E. The NESC has a January 1, 2009 deadline for compliance. Learn how to save tens of thousands of dollars or more by performing the detailed arc flash study yourself. Comply with OSHA, NFPA 70E, NESC and IEEE 1584 requirements. This class goes way beyond the "typical" arc flash class by taking you through the necessary steps to perform the detailed arc flash study and calculations. Jim covers both industrial and utility power systems. He is a member of the IEEE 1584 working group, and he also wrote the guide: "How to Perform an Arc Flash Study in 12 Steps" published by NFPA's NEC Digest. See why instructors from the other training companies attend Jim's class first, to see how its done!
