New NFPA 70E-2009 Released • NFPA Standards Council issued 70E-2009 in July 2008, not widely available until late 2008 • Maintains ‘mandatory’ language of a consensus standard • Represents results of over 500 proposals, 800 comments on previous 70E-2004 version • Many wording changes throughout document; described as ‘same intent’, but changed for clarity • PSE processes, methodologies, reports, labels, fully compliant with new version 2009 – Now’s the Time!
Key Changes to NFPA 70E-2009 • Category 0/1 threshold– now 1.2 cal/cm2 vs former 2.0 cal/cm2 • Ear plugs at all categories, not just >Category 2 • Analysis cut-off point changed - was <240V and <10kA; now 240V or less served by single transformer <125 kVA • Labeling now requires PPE category or incident energy level • Analysis to be updated at time of renovation and reviewed periodically not to exceed every 5 years • Emphasis on maintenance and testing • Emphasis on equipment integrity – ‘exposure to electrical hazard’ vs ‘working on or near exposed parts’
Construction Studies – Value! • Verify equipment ratings • Short-circuit analysis results • Value engineer project • Head off project problems due to unusual or less optimal designs • Identify protective coordination issues • Ensure selectivity • NEC Article 700/701 support (e.g. – Healthcare Projects) • Get the right BOM to satisfy special coordination requirements • Arc flash analysis • Calculate exposure levels, identify arc flash mitigation opportunities Use Our Updated Specs!
