,Section A - Hazard Identification AND RISK Assessment
Q1.
A facility is conducting an arc flash risk assessment for a 480V switchgear lineup. The
short-circuit current available is 65 kA, and the protective device is a 1600A circuit breaker
with a clearing time of 0.1 seconds. Using the incident energy analysis method per NFPA
70E-2026, which of the following parameters is most critical in determining the arc flash
boundary?
A. The distance from the arc to the worker B. The phase-to-phase voltage and the gap
(working distance) between conductors
C. The arc duration and the bolted fault D. The type of PPE and the enclosure
current dimensions
Correct: C - The arc duration and the bolted fault current
Rationale:Incident energy is proportional to the square of the fault current and directly
proportional to the arc duration (clearing time). The bolted fault current and clearing time are
the primary determinants of incident energy, and thus the arc flash boundary. Working
distance and gap are secondary factors in the formula.
Q2.
An electrical worker is tasked with performing thermography on an energized 13.8 kV
switchgear. According to NFPA 70E-2026, what is the minimum approach distance for a
qualified person using a thermal imaging camera without direct contact?
A. The limited approach boundary as B. The restricted approach boundary for
defined by Table 130.4(E)(a) 13.8 kV (0.69 m)
C. The arc flash boundary calculated at 100 D. The prohibited approach boundary (0.3
cal/cm² m) for 13.8 kV
Correct: B - The restricted approach boundary for 13.8 kV (0.69 m)
Rationale:For thermography, the worker is considered to be at the restricted approach
boundary. Table 130.4(E)(a) specifies the restricted approach boundary for 13.8 kV as 0.69 m.
The limited approach boundary is larger, but the restricted boundary is the minimum for
qualified persons performing tasks that increase the risk of electrical contact.
Q3.
A maintenance crew needs to replace a fuse in a 480V motor control center. The incident
energy analysis indicates an arc flash boundary of 4.5 m and an incident energy of 12
cal/cm² at the working distance. Per NFPA 70E-2026, which of the following PPE
combinations is required?
Page 3
, Section A - Hazard Identification AND RISK Assessment
A. Arc-rated shirt and pants with minimum B. Arc-rated shirt and pants or coverall with
ATPV of 8 cal/cm², plus hard hat and safety minimum ATPV of 12 cal/cm², plus face
glasses shield, hard hat, hearing protection, and
leather gloves
C. Arc-rated suit with hood, minimum ATPV D. Arc-rated shirt and pants with ATPV of 4
of 12 cal/cm², plus hearing protection and cal/cm², plus face shield and hearing
leather gloves, but no face shield needed if protection
hood is used
Correct: B - Arc-rated shirt and pants or coverall with minimum ATPV of 12 cal/cm², plus
face shield, hard hat, hearing protection, and leather gloves
Rationale:For incident energy of 12 cal/cm², Table 130.7(C)(15)(c) requires PPE category 2
or higher, which includes arc-rated shirt and pants or coverall with ATPV 8 cal/cm², plus face
shield, hard hat, hearing protection, and leather gloves. Option A has insufficient ATPV; option
C's suit is overkill but acceptable, but the face shield is still required if the hood does not have
a face shield; option D has insufficient ATPV.
Q4.
An electrically safe work condition requires all of the following EXCEPT:
A. Verification of absence of voltage using a B. Installation of personal protective grounds
test instrument rated for the system voltage on all phases and the neutral
C. Release of stored capacitive energy D. Lockout/tagout of all sources of electrical
through a grounding device energy
Correct: B - Installation of personal protective grounds on all phases and the neutral
Rationale:Per NFPA 70E-2026, an electrically safe work condition requires lockout/tagout,
verification of absence of voltage, and discharge of stored energy. Personal protective
grounds are required only when the work involves possible induced voltages or if the
equipment is overhead transmission, not for all conditions. Therefore, B is not universally
required.
Q5.
A qualified person is performing a voltage test on a 480V panel. The test instrument is
rated for 1000V CAT III. According to NFPA 70E-2026, which of the following is the correct
procedure for verifying the absence of voltage?
A. Test the instrument on a known voltage B. Test the instrument on a known voltage
source before and after testing the circuit, source before testing, then test
and test all phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase only, and test the instrument
phase-to-ground combinations again after
