I am a new member. Please let me post a question.
IEEE 1584 states:"Equipment below 240v need not be considered unless it involves at least one 125kva or larger low impedance transformer in its IMMEDIATE supply"
My case: 750kVA 600/208-120V 7.1% transformer supplys 208V switchboard A. Switchboard A supplys 208V panel B via cables, and panel B supplys another 208V panel C via cables. I need to do arc flash analysis for switch board A based on IEEE 1584. Do I need to do arc flash analysis for panel B and C? Or just label panel B and C according to NFPA 70 table 130.7(C)(9)(a)? I do not think the 750kva transformer is immediate supply to panel B. C. Thanks!

I don't think that the transformer is Panel B or C immediate power supply. I understand that the calculation is not necessary.

The same standard says "The arc-flash hazard need only be considered for large 208 V systems: systems fed by transformers smaller than 125 kVA should not be a concern." No "immediate" qualifier there. Also note that NFPA avoids the "immediate" qualifier.

YOU don't have to list the the HRC Task Matrix. Since it is outside the analysis,, you can just list a single HRC of 1 or 0 for all tasks.
