8、E1.58 2017 2017 ESTAThe ESTA Technical Standards ProgramThe ESTA Technical Standards Program was created to serve the ESTA membership and the entertainment industry in technical standards related matters. The goal of the Program is to take a leading role regarding technology within the entertainment
9、 industry by creating recommended practices and standards, monitoring standards issues around the world on behalf of our members, and improving communications and safety within the industry. ESTA works closely with the technical standards efforts of other organizations within our industry and repres
10、ents the interests of ESTA members to ANSI, UL, and the NFPA. The Technical Standards Program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute.The Technical Standards Council (TSC) was established to oversee and coordinate the Technical Standards Program. Made up of individuals experienced
11、 in standards-making work from throughout our industry, the Council approves all projects undertaken and assigns them to the appropriate working group. The Technical Standards Council employs a Technical Standards Manager and Assistant to coordinate the work of the Council and its working groups as
12、well as maintain a “Standards Watch” on behalf of members. Working groups include: Control Protocols, Electrical Power, Event Safety, Floors, Fog and Smoke, Followspot Position, Photometrics, Rigging, and Stage Lifts.ESTA encourages active participation in the Technical Standards Program. There are
13、several ways to become involved. If you would like to become a member of an existing working group, as have over two hundred people, you must complete an application which is available from the ESTA office. Your application is subject to approval by the working group and you will be required to acti
14、vely participate in the work of the group. This includes responding to letter ballots and attending meetings. Membership in ESTA is not a requirement, but there is an annual participation fee. A participation fee fund is available to help those who find the fee is an impediment to their participatio
15、n due to their financial situation. You can also become involved by requesting that the TSC develop a standard or a recommended practice in an area of concern to you.The Electrical Power Working Group, which authored this standard, consists of a cross section of entertainment industry professionals
16、representing a diversity of interests. ESTA is committed to developing consensus-based standards and recommended practices in an open setting. Future Electrical Power Working Group projects will includeupdating this publication as changes in technology and experience warrant, as well as developing n
17、ew standards and recommended practices for the benefit of the entertainment industry. iiANSI E1.58 2017 2017 ESTAInvestors in InnovationThe Technical Standard Program is financially supported by companies and individuals who make undirected donations to the TSP.

37、at are subject to weather and damp conditions. As a general requirement, the National Electrical Code specifies that all electrical equipment must be approved as suitable for the installation and use. NEC 110.2 Suitability of equipment may be evidenced by listing or labeling. NEC 110.3(A) It is also
38、 required that the equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included with the listing or labeling. NEC 110.3 (B). While this would preclude the use of indoor listed equipment in an outdoor setting, the NEC provides an exception for temporary theatrical and motion pic
39、ture installations provided the installation is supervised by qualified personnel. (See Annex A for citations from NEC Article 110.)1 General1.1 ScopeThe scope of this Standard is the planning and execution of temporary outdoor portable electrical installations in compliance with the intent of NFPA
40、70, National Electrical Code, Sections 520.10 and 530.6 which state that “Portable stage and studio lighting equipment and portable power distribution equipment not identified for outdoor use shall be permitted for temporary use outdoors, provided the equipment is supervised by qualified personnel w
41、hile energized and barriered from the general public.” (This quote is from 520.10; 530.6 is similar.) Safety is the primary concern. Conditions that degrade the operational performance or life of the electrical equipment are secondary. FPN: While this scope focuses on outdoor installations, it can b
42、e noted that the same principles would apply to an indoor facility that is also identified as a damp or wet location. 1.2 PurposeThe purpose of this document is to provide guidance for qualified persons tasked with supervising portable stage and studio lighting equipment and portable power distribut
43、ionequipment not identified for outdoor use when used outdoors where weather such as damp or wet conditions and temperature extremes exist; recognizing the hazards involved and identifying ways to mitigate the hazards to reduce the risk of either injury topersons or damage to property.2 Identify Out
44、door ConditionsThe qualified person responsible for the outdoor electrical installation shall check the forecast weather conditions to determine what can be expected during the installation, use, and removal of all electrical equipment. This includes the forecast for precipitation, flood potential,
45、the range of ambient temperatures, and wind conditions. FPN: Professional weather services may be the best source for accurate forecasts.2.1 The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, Article 100 Definitions) includes definitions for damp and wet locations. It also provides descriptions of various weath
46、er and rain 2017 ESTA 1 EP/2015-7020r4ANSI E1.58 2017, Electrical Safety Standard for Portable Stage and Studio Equipment Used Outdoorsconditions. These definitions shall be used in evaluating the electrical equipment as related to outdoor conditions. (See Annex B for list of defined terms.)2.2 Othe
47、r sources of water exposure shall be evaluated as well. These may include irrigation systems (sprinklers); streams, pools, fountains or other bodies of water; fogs (including oceanic salt bearing); and wind borne spray or mist.2.3 Arid locations that have the potential for blowing sand or dust shoul
48、d be evaluated as well since these elements can also compromise the safe performance of electrical equipment.FPN: Organic dusts are flammable and potentially explosive. If these are present, the rules for hazardous locations apply. (Reference NFPA 70, Article 506)2.4 The potential for lightning stri
49、kes shall also be evaluated.3 Identify Electrical Hazards3.1 Electrical ShockThe qualified person shall evaluate all electrical equipment to identify where damp or wet conditions may increase the potential for electrical currents to flow in unintended paths that can expose persons to an electrical shock hazard. Equipment not listed for outdoor use may have multiple paths where moisture or dust can enter and create a hazard.3.2 Overheating
