ArcCalc Versus PTW-ArcFlash

 

ArcCalc calculates the incident energy and arc flash boundary and selects the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for a single point in a simplified power system. Minimum and maximum arcing short circuit currents are calculated using broad tolerances to provide conservative results with estimated system data.

PTW Arc Flash allows you to build a system model for your entire power system. Once the system model is built, the Arc Flash module calculates the incident energy and flash boundary at every location in the power system.

Common Features of ArcCalc and PTW Arc Flash:

bullet Calculate incident energy and flash boundary values and select PPE.
bullet Produce standard and custom labels.
bullet Produce Energised Work Permits.
bullet Calculate arcing fault current values.
bullet Automatically determine the trip times from the protective device settings.
bullet Contain an extensive library consisting of thousands of protective devices validated by electrical engineers.
bullet Follow the calculation methods outlined in the latest release of IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E standards.

ArcCalc Advantages:

bullet Evaluate a single fault location in a simplified network through a simple calculator-style interface.
bullet Quickly assess dangerous conditions by determining incident energy and flash boundary values in the field.
bullet Low cost.
bullet Intelligent default data for arcing fault variables including bus gap and working distance.
bullet Automatically applies tolerances to determine min/max arcing fault currents to provide more conservative results with estimated data.

PTW Arc Flash Advantages:

bullet

Analyse every bus using a fully interactive model of an electrical power system.

bullet Evaluate multiple levels of protective device settings including mis-coordination.
bullet Accumulate energy from multiple parallel fault sources automatically.
bullet Integrated with protective coordination drawings to help evaluate alternative designs.
bullet Store and compare multiple project scenarios in a single table.
bullet Calculate and reports bus, line-side and load-side fault conditions automatically.
