    High Voltage Arc Flash for T&D, Industrial and Renewable Systems

    High Voltage Arc Flash for T&D, Industrial and Renewable Systems

    Arc flash analysis extends well beyond the scope of IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E methodology for transmission, distribution, industrial and renewable energy systems. For many years, the industry has been lacking an ‘all-in-one’ solution for performing AC and DC arc flash analysis on LV, MV, and HV systems. ETAP ArcFault™ analysis software is used for performing Arc Flash Analysis in compliance with OSHA’s requirements in OSHA 1910.269 Appendix E for electric transmission & distribution utilities and renewable energy power system, specifically for calculating arc fault incident energy for 15 kV and above.
