Arc Flash Analysis Key Features
The following capabilities are available in the arc flash study software to comply with IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E arc flash analysis safety guidelines:
  • Limit the arc flash incident energy based on protective device maximum fault clearing time (e.g., two seconds)
  • Built-in empirical equation range limits alerts & system grounding configurations
  • Automatically distinguish between load & line side protective devices
  • User-definable & typical equipment gap between conductors for buses & X-factors (based on IEEE 1584)
  • Automatically handle arc flash incident energy calculation for LV buses (e.g., 208 volts) fed by transformers rated less than 125 kVA
  • Automatically assign arc flash hazard category for LV (<240 volts) with bolted current less than 10 kA
  • Simulate main protective device isolation in the arc flash analysis by using user-defined tools
  • Perform arc flash calculations based on different EB energy values.
  • The arc flash analysis software include standard-defined insulating gloves for printing on the on the arc flash safety labels.
  • The arc flash analysis program can be configured to include the maximum and minimum arc fault currents to obtain the worst case results.
