In celebration of Electrical Safety Month, we kicked off our brand-new webinar series with a session focused on one of the most critical aspects of protecting electrical workers – understanding arc flash ratings.
Led by Anthony Long, our seasoned technical expert in electrical safety and PPE, this exclusive session was designed for safety professionals, engineers, and managers looking to expand their knowledge and make safer, more informed decisions in high-risk electrical environments.
Why You Should Watch the Recording:
Deep Dive into Arc Ratings:
We provided a clear breakdown of ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value), EBT (Energy Breakopen Threshold), and ELIM (Incident Energy Limit). Attendees learned what these ratings mean, how they’re tested, and why they matter in real-world applications.
Real-World Insights:
We explored how these ratings are used — and sometimes misused — in arc flash studies, PPE selection, and risk assessments, including a closer look at the often misunderstood ELIM rating and how it fits into the broader arc flash safety framework.
Standards and Compliance:
The session clarified key differences between NFPA 70E category ratings and IEC/EN Class ratings, highlighting why selecting the right PPE involves more than just checking a label.
Live Q&A Sessions:
Attendees benefited from direct access to Anthony Long and other industry experts, who shared practical insights and answered some of the toughest questions from the field.
