Arc flash identification for selection of personal protection equipment in the real industrial power system using levenberg marquardt backpropagation

Arc flash hazard is an important concern for who works on an industrial electrical system. Arc flash hazard incident energy can lead damage to equipment and injury to workers. Therefore, arc flash identification required to determine category of personal protective equipment (PPE) based on NPFA 70E. Calculations of Arc flash hazard incident energy using numerical techniques based on IEEE std. 1584. However, the calculations just determine value of arc flash incident energy. Therefore, in this paper, proposes Levenberg Marquardt Backpropagation (LMBP) for identification of Arc flash. The proposed method applied in HESS Indonesia Corporation. In the simulation result demonstrates that the proposed method presents high accuracy in identification of arc flash for selection of PPE.
