  • Abstract
    The authors have used the calculation methods in IEEE1584 to do hazard assessments for more than 80 industrial sites, from small warehouse facilities to large plants. This paper gives a statistical analysis of the data from those assessments, along with a discussion on modifying equipment design to minimize arc flash hazard exposures.
