ArcCalc
calculates the incident energy and arc flash boundary for any point in a power
system.
Minimum and
maximum arcing short circuit currents are calculated using broad tolerances to
provide conservative results with estimated system data. ArcCalc saves time by
automatically determining trip times from the protective device settings.
Incident energy, arc flash boundaries and PPE are calculated following the NFPA
70E and IEEE 1584 standards.
Benefits:
 |
Calculator-style interface makes complex calculations easy to understand. |
|
|
Provide a
safer working environment by specifying the proper level of PPE. Wearing
inadequate clothing is dangerous for obvious reasons, but wearing too much
clothing is dangerous due to limited mobility and visibility. |
|
|
Design safer
power systems while insuring compliance with NEC 110.16, OSHA, NFPA 70E and
IEEE 1584 standards. |
|
|
Evaluate
alternatives quickly and easily to understand the possible hazard. |
|
|
Improve safety
margins with user-definable arcing fault tolerances. |
|
|
Improve safety
margins with user-definable fault source and impedance tolerances. |
|
|
Save time by
automatically generating arc flash labels and work permits. |
|
|
Avoid
potential fines, lost productivity, and increased insurance and litigation
costs. |
