The forum will be attended by those who are interested in technical solutions to their arc flash problems, industry trends, standards developments and new techniques to tackle existing arc flash threats.
Although arc flash is a contentious & critical issue in Australia there are still no official Australian standards that deal with arc flash safety. The objective of the forum is to provide you with the latest developments and best practice to deal with arc flash hazards in New Zealand.
You will have an opportunity to discuss your arc flash issues with our speakers, to gain practical applications of arc flash safety. The focus throughout the forum is on the practical experiences of users; a number of case-studies will be presented by the manufacturing and utilities sectors who have implemented arc flash mitigation strategies into their operation.
