| The Arc Flash Result Analyzer is a time-saving tool that allows you to compare and analyze different reports coming from different projects, within the same directory, in a single display. You can compare the results of general information about the project or more specific information such as the results contained from buses, protective devices, or load terminals in an arc flash study. |
- Sort results from different studies by multiple criteria
- Find the worst-case incident energy results
- Quickly isolate & identify arc flash mis-coordination
- Find which protective devices failed to operate
- Filter out & analyze only the higher hazard category results
- Filter out all equipment with % Ia variation problems
- Locate slow responding protective devices
- Export customized AF results to Excel reports
- Analyze the results in Metric or English units
- Color code & filter results by category

| Speed up data entry for your arc flash projects by globally applying arc flash analysis data based on equipment type and voltage rating. |
 |
- Global definition of arc flash analysis data eliminates the need to specify this information in each bus
- Global definition of working distance, bus gaps, approach boundaries, & voltage-rated glove classes
- Specify Arc Flash Analysis Data based on IEEE 1584 2002 or user-defined values
- Globally select Shock Hazard Analysis Data based on NFPA 70E 2004, 2009 or user-defined settings
- Globally change the class settings given by ASTM D 120-02a Standard for voltage-rated protective gloves
- Updates can be made globally without having to modify each bus editor individually
|
|
|
| ETAP makes it easier to specify considerations that should be applied to low voltage equipment such as motors and transformers based on NFPA 70E 2009 & IEEE 1584. |
| |
- Consider motor fault current decay during the arc flash calculation
- Automatically exclude small motor contributions entirely from the simulation
- Automatically identify & exclude transformers with relatively low voltage & kVA
- Assign a hazard category to these types of equipments automatically based on fault current ranges
