CALCULATING DC ARC FLASH HAZARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, April 23, 2025 for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation. We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations. Our “home base” meeting location MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego is not available due to a facility upgrade, so we will meet next week at Easy Power/Bentley Systems of the Carman Drive I5 exit. Ample parking is available.
The cost for dinner is $20 with food from QDOBA Mexican Eats. There is no charge to attend the presentation only. Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

CALCULATING DC ARC FLASH HAZARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
Abstract: DC circuits analysis, including arc flash, are increasingly prominent areas of focus for electrical engineers engaged in renewable and battery energy storage system (BESS) applications. There are also longstanding industrial applications for DC related to the operation of large dc motor drives. This presentation focuses on DC circuits and related electrical studies (e.g., short circuit and arc flash) by first presenting a historical overview of related calculation methods and applicable standards related to DC circuits, then reviewing methods for estimating DC arc flash incident energies based on bolted fault calculations. Practical examples for industrial and commercial application of dc systems are explored, followed by time for questions and related discussions.
