How to Perform an Arc Flash Study – Part 5 Incident Energy and Arc Flash Boundary Calculations
The final part of this series examines incident energy and arc flash boundary calculations for the 480V panelboard example used in this series. IEEE 1584—IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash […]
How to Perform an Arc Flash Study – Part 4 Arc Duration and Time Current Curves
The duration of an arc flash is typically defined by how long it takes an upstream overcurrent device to operate and clear the fault. This requires using the device’s time […]
Predicting the Arc Flash Duration
Determining the arc flash duration is the most important piece of information in predicting its severity. The arc flash duration is usually dependent on how fast an upstream protective device will […]
