Arc flash incidents in a data center happen around high-density switchgear and UPS systems, where the energy involved is often higher than in a typical commercial building. This course covers NFPA 70E arc flash boundaries, PPE selection, and safe work practices specific to data center electrical equipment.
You'll leave able to recognize the equipment and conditions that raise arc flash risk on a data center floor specifically, not just general workplace electrical hazards.
What You'll Learn
- Identify arc flash hazard boundaries around data center switchgear and UPS systems
- Select appropriate PPE for data center-specific arc flash risk levels
- Apply safe work practices around energized power distribution equipment
- Recognize the equipment and conditions that raise data center arc flash risk
