What this covers
- Incident energy calculation — at each working position, based on actual fault level and protection clearing time.
- Arc flash boundary — the distance at which incident energy falls to the second-degree burn threshold.
- PPE category assignment — matching protective equipment to calculated energy at each location.
- Label content — the information required on equipment warning labels.
- Mitigation options — maintenance switching modes, zone-selective interlocking, arc flash relays and setting changes that reduce clearing time.
- High-energy locations — identifying points where energy cannot be reduced and access must be controlled instead.
What you receive
- Arc flash study report with calculation basis and results
- Incident energy and boundary results tabulated by equipment
- Arc flash label schedule ready for production
- Mitigation recommendations with the energy reduction each would achieve
Standards and references
Analysis is carried out to IEEE 1584 for incident energy calculation and NFPA 70E for boundaries, PPE and safe work practice, with fault data derived to IEC 60909 or ANSI/IEEE C37.010.
