5 Electric shock hazards 70E Article 100 Definition Shock Hazard. A source of possible injury to health associated with current through the body caused by contact or approach to energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. Informational Note: Injury and damage to health resulting from shock is dependent on the magnitude of the electrical current, the power source frequency (e.g., 60 Hz, 50 Hz, dc), and the path and time duration of current through the body. The physiological reaction ranges from perception, muscular contractions, inability to let go, ventricular fibrillation, tissue burns, and death. Shock boundaries 5

Protecting OCPD Condition of maintenance: Provide arc flash mitigation as specified Must consider maintenance of protecting OCPD and the equipment to be serviced Condition of both play major role in the safety of the system Downstream equipment to be serviced Condition of maintenance of equipment to serviced 36
37 General maintenance requirements 70E Article 205 Requirement General Maintenance Requirements. Electrical equipment shall be maintained in accordance with manufacturers instruction or industry consensus standards to reduce the risk associated with failure. The equipment owner or the owner s designated representative shall be responsible for maintenance of the electrical equipment and documentation. Recommend decal system for testing and maintenence 70E Article 205 Requirement Overcurrent Protective Devices. Overcurrent protective devices shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instruction or industry consensus standards. Maintenance, tests and inspections shall be documented. 37
38 Overcurrent protective device maintenance 70E Article 210 Requirement Protective Devices. Protective devices shall be maintained to adequately withstand or interrupt available fault current. Informational Note: Improper or inadequate maintenance can result in increased opening time of the overcurrent protective device, thus increasing incident energy. 70E Article 225 Requirements Fuses. Fuses shall be maintained free of breaks or cracks in fuse cases, ferrules, and insulators. Fuse clips shall be maintained to provide adequate contact with fuses. Fuseholders for current-limiting fuses shall not be modified to allow the insertion of fuses that are not current-limiting. Non-current limiting fuses shall not be modified to allow their insertion into current limiting fuseholders Molded-Case Circuit Breakers.

40 Resetting circuit breakers and replacing fuses 70E Article 130 Requirement 130.6(M) Reclosing Circuits After Protective Device Operation. After a circuit is de-energized by the automatic operation of a circuit protective device, the circuit shall not be manually reenergized until it has been determined that the equipment and circuit can be safely energized. The repetitive manual reclosing of circuit breakers or re-energizing circuits through replaced fuses shall be prohibited. When it is determined from the design of the circuit and the overcurrent devices involved that the automatic operation of a device was caused by an overload rather than a fault condition, examination of the circuit or connected equipment shall not be required before the circuit is re-energized. Cannot reset circuit breaker without identifying the cause Must determine it is safe to reenergize Examination not required for overloads Similar requirements found in OSHA (b)(2) 40
41 Reducing electrical hazards Design phase Use engineering controls and Safety by Design Specify current limiting OCPDs and touch-safe products Existing equipment Do not work energized Maintain equipment, especially OCPDs Change out non-current limiting OCPDs to current-limiting Utilize Low-Peak fuses 41
