ARC FLASH HAZARD ANALYSIS
A.
The arc flash hazard analysis shall be performed according to the IEEE 1584 equations
that are presented in NFPA70E-2009, Annex D. The arc flash hazard analysis shall be
performed in conjunction with the short-circuit analysis (Section 2.03) and the protective
device time-current coordination analysis (Section 2.04)
B.
The flash protection boundary and the incident energy shall be calculated at significant
locations in the electrical distribution system (switchboards, switchgear, motor-control
centers, panelboards, busway and splitters) where work could be performed on
energized parts.
C.
Circuits 240V or less fed by single transformer rated less than 125 kVA may be omitted
from the computer model and will be assumed to have a hazard risk category 0 per
NFPA 70E.
D.
Working distances shall be based on IEEE 1584. The calculated arc flash protection
boundary shall be determined using those working distances.
E.
When appropriate, the short circuit calculations and the clearing times of the phase
overcurrent devices will be retrieved from the short-circuit and coordination study model.
Ground overcurrent relays should not be taken into consideration when determining the
clearing time when performing incident energy calculations
F.
The short-circuit calculations and the corresponding incident energy calculations for
multiple system scenarios must be compared and the greatest incident energy must be
uniquely reported for each equipment location in a single table. Calculations must be
performed to represent the maximum and minimum contributions of fault current
magnitude for normal and emergency operating conditions. The minimum calculation will
assume that the utility contribution is at a minimum. Conversely, the maximum calculation
will assume a maximum contribution from the utility. Calculations shall take into
consideration the parallel operation of synchronous generators with the electric utility,
where applicable as well as any stand-by generator applications.
G.
The Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis shall be performed utilizing mutually agreed upon facility
operational conditions, and the final report shall describe, when applicable, how these
conditions differ from worst-case bolted fault conditions.
H.
The incident energy calculations must consider the accumulation of energy over time
when performing arc flash calculations on buses with multiple sources. Iterative
calculations must take into account the changing current contributions, as the sources
are interrupted or decremented with time. Fault contribution from motors should be
decremented as follows:
1.
Fault contribution from induction motors should not be considered beyond 5
cycles.
I.
For each piece of ANSI rated equipment with an enclosed main device, two calculations
shall be made. A calculation shall be made for the main cubicle, sides, or rear; and shall
be based on a device located upstream of the equipment to clear the arcing fault. A
16015 - 5
1364002201
SECTION 16015
second calculation shall be made for the front cubicles and shall be based on the
equipment’s main device to clear the arcing fault. For all other non-ANSI rated
equipment, only one calculation shall be required and it shall be based on a device
located upstream of the equipment to clear the arcing fault.
J.
When performing incident energy calculations on the line side of a main breaker (as
required per above), the line side and load side contributions must be included in the fault
calculation.
K.
Mis-coordination should be checked amongst all devices within the branch containing the
immediate protective device upstream of the calculation location and the calculation
should utilize the fastest device to compute the incident energy for the corresponding
location.
L.
Arc Flash calculations shall be based on actual overcurrent protective device clearing
time. A maximum clearing time of 2 seconds will be used based on IEEE 1584-2002
section B.1.2. Where it is not physically possible to move outside of the flash protection
boundary in less than 2 seconds during an arc flash event, a maximum clearing time
based on the specific location shall be utilized.
M.
Provide the following:
1.
Results of the Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis shall be submitted in tabular form, and
shall include device or bus name, bolted fault and arcing fault current levels, flash
protection boundary distances, working distances, personal-protective equipment
classes and AFIE (Arc Flash Incident Energy) levels.
2.

The TVSS shall protect all modes L-G, L-N, L-L, and N-G, for WYE systems
have discrete suppression circuitry in L-G, L-N and N-G, and have bidirectional,
positive and negative impulse protection. Line-to-neutral-to-ground protection
is not acceptable where line-to-ground is specified, and accordingly reduced
mode units with suppression circuitry built into only 4 modes are not
acceptable. For delta systems, the unit shall have discrete suppression circuitry
in L-G and L-L.
Obtain all surge suppression devices through one source from a single
manufacturer.
The maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV) of all components shall
not be less than 125% for a 120V system and 120% for 220 and 240V systems,
and 115% for 277 and 480V systems.

“approved equal” unless it meets the warranty, strength, safety features, IEEE
let-through levels, modes of discrete suppression circuitry, fusing, independent
third party per mode surge testing, and all other requirements of this
specification.
If a disconnect switch is specified, the disconnect switch and the SPD as a
system shall be capable of interrupting up to a 200kA symmetrical fault current
with 600 VAC applied.
Each design configuration shall have the maximum single pulse surge current
capacity per mode verified through testing at an independent, nationally
recognized test laboratory. To be considered for approval, the manufacturer
must submit a test report on a unit which was tested with internal over current
fusing in place. The test shall include a 1.2 X 50 µsec 6000V open circuit
voltage waveform and an 8 X 20 µsec 500A short circuit current waveform to
benchmark the unit’s suppression voltage, followed by a single pulse surge of
maximum rated surge current magnitude with an approximated 8 X 20 µsec
waveform. To complete the test, another identical surge shall be applied to
verify the unit’s survival. Compliance is achieved if the suppression voltage
found from the two impulses do not vary by more than +10%. Test data on an
individual module is not acceptable.
