CED Seminar: Arc Flash Calculations Including Field Data Gathering
The new revision of IEEE Std. 1584 Guide to Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations includes the new arc-flash model; which is the result of the NFPA and IEEE collaboration effort to improve the accuracy of the incident energy calculations.The new model includes the effects of both horizontal and vertical conductor orientations (VCB, VOA, VCBB, HCB and HOA), plus refined models for arc current variation and enclosure size effects on the incident energy. This presentation will go over on what is perhaps the most difficult application consideration of the new model; which is the detection and classification of actual equipment into one of the five electrode configurations. Also, some quick pointers on how the new model is to be applied in power system analysis software will be provided.
