  2. Topics • Background • 2016 Workshop progress • Headquarters support • Content outline • Path forward

  3. History of Handbook • 1990 - 1993 Development (facility only) • 1993 - draft, Chapters 1 - 8 • 1994 - 1997, R&D Development • January 1998 - release • 2003 - attempt to eliminate • March 2004 - 1st R&D Electrical Safety Meeting/Workshop • April 2004 - Edit to Handbook due • December 2004 - Revised handbook, added excavation • March 2005 - 2nd R&D Electrical Safety Meeting/Workshop • March 2006 - 3rd R&D Electrical Safety Meeting/Workshop • July 2007 - 1st Joint DOE Electrical Safety Workshop

  4. History of Handbook – cont. • October 2008 - revision finalized • January 1, 2009 – was submitted to DOE • Back to the drawing board • 2010 - revised Electrical Safety Handbook, 2 new chapters • Added equipment approval and hazard classification • 2010 – 2013 editing, code referencing, reorganization, REVCOM • 2013 published, two new EFCOG chapter pushed to appendices, controversial (it took 6 years to revise) • 2016 EFCOG working group, plan how to proceed • 2018 EFCOG – this update

  6. DOE Electrical Safety Handbook – 2013leads – Bobby Gray, Lloyd Gordonred – EFCOG products • Introduction general • General Requirements general • Hazard Analysis see Appendix D • Electrical Preventive Maintenance code • Grounding code • Special Occupancies code, explosives • Requirements for Specific Equipment code • Work in Excess of 600 V code • Temporary Wiring code • Electrical Safety During Excavation code • Enclosed Electrical/Electronic Equipment R&D • Unlisted Electrical Equipment Approval see Appendix C • Research and Development R&D A – DOE Model Electrical Safety Program B – Acronyms and Definitions code C – Unlisted Electrical Equipment R&D D – Hazard Analysis R&D E – Referenced Citations code F – Severity Tool EFCOG

  7. 2016 Working Group Goal • To eliminate code repetition • eliminate sections that are a repeat of existing codes and standards (NEC, 70E, NESC) • this shifts the focus to an R&D handbook • Reorder the handbook to include all material in main body, in a manner that flows • To brainstorm new sections • To consider options for a path forward for publication

  8. 2016 Working Group Members • Mike Hicks, DOE INL • Lloyd Gordon, LANL • Tim Snow, NREL • Richard Green, LLNL • Don Bourcier, LANL • Eugene Santiago, BNL • Joe Kilar, ANL retired • John Lacenere, PPPL • John Echave, LANL • Marion Wilde, SNL retired • Mark Mathews, ORNL retired • Terry Meisinger, HQ-DOE

  9. 2016 Working Group Products • Went through complete handbook, marked for: • elimination • consideration for reduction/elimination • update • Listed ideas for new material • Proposed options for path forward for publication • Had conference call with headquarters

  10. Options for DOE Electrical Safety Handbook path forward • Updates to existing handbook, DOE • Updates and add new material, DOE • Completely restructure handbook, DOE • Eliminate redundant code info, reorder • Break into two handbooks • Existing application of codes to labs, DOE • Research laboratories, Science and NNSA, EFCOG • Pull handbook out of DOE, make it EFCOG handbook Headquarters committed to support and expedite publication of handbook

  11. DOE Electrical Safety Handbook – 2 Handbooks • Introduction general • General Requirements general • Electrical Preventive Maintenance code • Grounding code • Special Occupancies code, explosives • Requirements for Specific Equipment code • Work in Excess of 600 V code • Temporary Wiring code • Electrical Safety During Excavation code A – DOE Model Electrical Safety Program B – Acronyms and Definitions code E – Referenced Citations code Introduction general General Requirements general Hazard Analysis R&D, both Risk Assessment both Enclosed Electrical/Electronic Equipment R&D Unlisted Electrical Equipment Approval R&D Research and Development R&D Electrical Severity Measurement Tool A – Acronyms and Definitions code

  14. 2018 Update • Handbook revision approved by headquarters • Justified uniqueness of handbook (e.g., R&D) • Contains material not found anywhere else • Eliminated code repetition • Reordered Handbook to include all material in main body • Listed ideas for new sections

  15. Consideration for Elimination • The next few slides look at each chapter for • Elimination - Yellow • Update - Blue • Closer consideration – Green

  16. Elimination criteria • Material fully covered by existing code (e.g., NEC, NESC) • ELIMINATE • Material covered by existing code, but has unique challenges at DOE sites (e.g., maintenance, excavation) • Revise and keep • Material covered by existing code, but integrates with R&D material (e.g., AC hazard classification) • Integrate and keep • Material unique to handbook (e.g., equipment approval, hazard classification, etc.) • KEEP - This is about 80% or more of the material

  17.
