<p><em>Protection system is a safety system on electrical equipment in case of interference. One of the electrical hazards is the arc flash. According to IEEE 1584-2002 arc flash is a blast of heat, hot gas, and liquid metal caused by short circuit interference on the equipment. There are 3 cases of arc flash that occurred in PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk. Bogor, West Java. Th</em><em>e aim of this </em><em>research is to find out the amount of arc flash energy in accordance with IEEE 1584-2002 standard, to know </em><em>how much </em><em>the energy, and also</em><em> to</em><em> classify Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) category for the workers according to NFPA 70E-2009 standard. This study was applied to the 5th mill finishing area at PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk. Bogor, West Java. The results showed on the area of the Finish Mill 5 the value of the energy incident is 16.92 cal/cm<sup>2</sup> on BUS MD-1, 1.39 cal/cm<sup>2</sup> on BUS RM-1, 1.35 cal/cm<sup>2</sup> on BUS FN-2, 2.17 cal/cm<sup>2</sup> on BUS TR-71, 1.41 cal/cm<sup>2</sup> on BUS TR-72, and 1.34 cal/cm<sup>2</sup> on  BUS TR-73.</em><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><em>Sistem proteksi merupakan suatu sistem pengaman pada peralatan listrik jika terjadi gangguan. Salah satu bahaya listrik  adalah  arc flash. Menurut IEEE 1584-2002 arc flash merupakan ledakan panas, gas panas, dan logam cair yang diakibatkan oleh gangguan hubung singkat (short circuit) pada peralatan. Terdapat 3 kasus arc flash  yang terjadi di PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk. Bogor, Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besar energi arc flash yang sesuai dengan standar IEEE 1584-2002, untuk mengetahui besar energi serta mengklasifikasi kategori Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bagi pekerja sesuai dengan standar NFPA 70E-2009. Studi ini diterapkan  pada area Finish Mill 5 pada PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk. Bogor, Jawa Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada area Finish Mill 5 nilai insiden energinya yaitu  16,92 kal/cm<sup>2</sup> pada BUS MD-1, 1,39 kal/cm<sup>2</sup> pada BUS RM-1, 1,35 kal/cm<sup>2</sup> pada BUS FN-2, 2,17 kal/</em><em>cm<sup>2</sup></em><em> pada BUS TR-71, 1,41 kal/cm<sup>2</sup> pada BUS TR-72, dan 1,34 kal/cm<sup>2</sup> pada BUS TR-73.</em></p>
