DC Arc Flash on PV array
Although arc flashes hazards on direct current (DC) systems are just as real, they are often minimized or even ignored. Not only is it unrealistic to assume it is enough to take into account the incident energy in AC systems when assessing arc flash hazards, this in itself can be hazardous. For example, for a distribution panel that is fed by a battery room with a nominal capacity of 1000 ah, the level of calculated incident energy for the battery terminals would be 18 cal/cm². This high value requires protection with anti-arc coveralls for a standard work distance of 46 cm (18 inches). That’s why assessing arc flashes for DC systems is just as important to ensure worker safety.

It's exactly how I do it, removing parallel paths and doing calculations to know what reading your after also guides you to an issue. Just need to brush up on theory. Keep it up guys.

    I know this was 3 years ago however, just a few queries... For socket circuits, why does the design guide consider the MCB rating in calculating the max. demand? 40% of 32A (12.8A) seems excessive for a domestic ring circuit. Another thing, that 40% factor used as diversity factor appears to be taken at the same time of the day for all the circuits. Has the time of utilisation been considered on that 40% figure? And this load assessment is just for a single dwelling unit. What about for a multiple dwelling unit? Can you please do another webinar video for that? Thanks.

    Having no issues, but when i had my tails replaced my energy supplier for a EV charged install, he advised a C17 and as i was having a 100A fuse upgraded he advised me to mention it to uk Power networks as could do at the same time, UK power networks booked only the 110A fuse and when i have queried about the C17 black plactic, and upgrading it, they dont seem bothered just advise that if the electrician that changed the 100A fuse saw any issues they would have mentioned it, so showld i push for this to be replaced or is it fine, they mention there are some customers with older metal boxes.

    Coming late to the discussion. One aspect not explicitly covered (as yet) was the generator 'reference' to earth and how / why that reference should be (or not) connected for (I believe) the elimination of human shock voltages (and if not connected the low currents that will/can still kill you ), rather than, as mentioned, what is considered the [lack of] power currents in the reference line, i.e. the currents would never blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. The aspect of creating a [mass of] earth reference protection can also be for the electromagnetic (radio) interference reduction that all the EMI/RFI filters in modern electronic equipments provide with their Y capacitors 'leaking' deliberately to their 'earth' / chassis. It also appears as it those in the US may have different views because of their own peculiar systems and operating environments with respect to protecting linesmen from back feeds from all the back up genny's in rural US.

    Hi. Thanks for this video. It is very useful preparation for the exam even for 18th Ed A2. In question 3, if the maximum voltage drop is 5V would that suggest a voltage drop has already occurred to the distribution board so the voltage at the distribution board would be 385V and calculations would then be based on that? Also, when determining minimum CSA would marks be lost by not determining Ct and applying it to the voltage drop calculation for 2.5 sq mm? Then if 15 V has already been dropped to the distribution board, the actual voltage drop would be 15 + 3.74 (18.84V) which is still acceptable (<20V).

    I do take CPC's direct to the socket and then a flyleaf to the back box if a metal socket NIC didn't used to insist on on the latter ie if a plastic socket but NAPIT did. However the metal conduit system presents what I would consider a huge danger if relying on the metal of the conduit providing a CPC and in this scenario I encountered a situation whereupon the metal conduit had been severed and 2.5 had been used in between. Remember in galvanised conduit you are dealing with threads, cutting compound etc all of which can circumvent the continuity. My first flat had one of these infrastructures and I completely re-wired it again with singles but with a CPC within the conduit.

    Excellent video well balanced I totally agree with your decision not to remedy. I've been in the trade 50+ years and as soon as I saw the holes in the CU and then the dual sleeved cpc's / roughly trimmed 2'5 cables in the sockets thought 'crap'. Also with my other 'hat' on as a qualified plumber, flexi's on the expansion vessels are not allowed unless supplied by the manufacturers. Anybody remember a British Comedy from the 60's called "A home of your own" except this installation is not a comedy and those responsible should be made accountable.

    Funny enough earthing the back boxes is the most hateful, aggravating and annoying part of the job for me, I'd rather be pulling cables through inaccessible blind holes or bashing rock hard concrete. I have a full rewire in progress and all boxes, have been wired and finished... Apart from, as of this moment only half the boxes have been earthed. I did half and was expecting to finish off and do the rest next visit - Because I don't enjoy that bit, after hearing your very sensible and authoritative appraisal I was quite tempted to just leave them.. I mean the great Sparky Ninja has removed any guilt.. Of course it would be impossible for me to leave site without completing the blinkin' back boxes. Grrr. For some reason I couldn't do it. Excellent channel and what a great name too. Subbed.
