NESC 2012 Change Proposals
NESC-2012 change proposals have been published and are available for comment through May 1, 2010. The main change proposal includes a requirement for employers to determine potential electric arc exposures for employees who work on or near lines, parts or equipment 50- 1000 volts. NESC-2007 does not specifically require employers to perform an arc hazard analysis on low voltages systems so this will be a major change for 2012.

NESC –2012 Comment Period Opens
The comment period for the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) 2012 will open September 2009. The proposed standard will address arc flash requirements for secondary voltages. The 2007 edition of NESC allowed clothing rated at 4 cal/cm2 to limit the likelihood of clothing ignition for secondary voltages below 1 kV if engineering controls and work practices were evaluated to reduce energy levels. The 2012 edition will address arc issues for voltages less than 1 kV. All utilities should review the proposed changes and comment as appropriate for your utility. For more information on commenting refer to the NESC website at http://standards.ieee.org/nesc or contact SET Solutions.

Dispatcher or System Operator?
Information Technology has profoundly transformed the electric distribution dispatching center. Historically a dispatching center’s primary responsibility was to receive outage calls, assign daily work and communicate to field crews via the company radio. The days of receiving outage calls and searching for sectionalizing devices on a paper mapping system have been replaced by computer based technology.
