4 Engineering Arc-Flash Safety and Productivity for Industrial and Commercial Facilities The Cooper Bussmann Services team has the experience in power system design, analysis and electrical safety to best assess and make recommendations that offer maximum protection and productivity. We go beyond just understanding electrical standards and regulations, actively participating in improving circuit protection and electrical safety, through: NFPA 70E NFPA79 IEEE NEMA CANENA IEC Our comprehensive service offerings include: Electrical Network Analysis The backbone of your facility is your electrical network. After initial installation, your network changes, and keeping current with those changes is challenging. The first building block for productivity is developing a current one-line diagram including all power sources, and loads. The Cooper Bussmann team can deliver a comprehensive report for you. Short-Circuit Current Analysis Identifying the bolted short-circuit levels at key points in your network reveals the hidden electrical potential. Cooper Bussmann will expand the one-line diagram to point out these areas of most concern. Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis OSHA has adopted the NFPA 70E as a document to help mitigate the effects of arc-flash on worker safety. Cooper Bussmann is an expert in this standard and implementing it in your facility. We will work from the short-circuit current analysis to determine critical data for you such as the approach and flash boundaries as required by NFPA70E. We will identify the hazard risk category necessary to provide the most effective personal protective equipment (PPE) for safely performing work on electrical panels. Arc-Flash Labeling Warning operators of the impending arc-flash danger in a panel is a key step toward workplace safety. Building upon an Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis, Cooper Bussmann will properly label your panels beyond minimum NFPA70E recommendations.

5 Electrical Safety Program Development You want to get the maximum benefit out of your Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis to create a safe environment for your workers. Developing and implementing a safety program is the right thing to do. We will meet with your team to assess your existing program and work with you to ensure you have an effective program tailored to your facility. Included in the program will be the training and record-retention to satisfy OSHA. Coordination Studies Preventing downtime with proper coordination of overcurrent protective devices like fuses and circuit breakers is a necessary preventive measure. We will interpret the time-current characteristics of each critical circuit in your network to identify potential risks and opportunity for improvement. As a result, you will experience peace of mind that you have taken proactive measures to prevent unnecessary downtime. Annual Maintenance Changes occur in your facility on a daily basis; new employees need training, and new equipment needs to be added to your one-line diagram. The effects of these changes can create vulnerabilities in your operation. Cooper Bussmann can help you maximize safety and productivity by keeping your one-line diagram updated, as well as provide new labeling to identify changes in arc-flash hazards. We will also train your employees on the latest topics around electrical workplace safety. What Do You Get? You get a professional arc flash analysis report and personal presentation detailing the results of our analysis.

6 OSCAR Compliance Software Eliminates Guesswork in Assembly SCCR Calculations The Cooper Bussmann innovative OSCAR (Online Short- Circuit Current UL508A Rating) Compliance Software helps you comply with new Code and standards* requirements for short-circuit current ratings as they relate to industrial panels, equipment and assemblies. The Cooper Bussmann OSCAR compliance software easily guides you through entering your panel s components for supply, feeder, sub-feeder and branch circuits. And, based upon the component types or part numbers you enter, the software determines the assembly SCCR per UL508A Supplement SB. It s Automatic: The software determines the assembly SCCR of industrial control panel assemblies per UL508A SB It s Simple: The OSCAR compliance software is backed by a database containing more than 50,000 line item part numbers with their component SCCR. Available Online: Use it as much as you want. This software is available 24/7 365 with a one-year subscription. Continually Updated: The OSCAR compliance software is regularly updated with new part numbers, their component SCCRs, and any changes that may occur to Code requirements and agency standards. Flexible: The custom device option allows for entering specialized component rating information for devices not found in the OSCAR database. *Underwriter s Laboratories now requires all electrical panels and assemblies manufactured to standard 508A be marked with their SCCR. Article 409 of the 2005 National Electrical Code mandates that industrial equipment and control panels must be marked with their assembly SCCR. NEC Article specifies equipment cannot be installed where available fault current exceeds the assembly SCCR. To Subscribe Visit or contact your local Cooper Bussmann Distributor
