Learn how ETAP DC Arc Flash Analysis software calculates the incident energy for photovoltaic systems, while considering different methods such as Maximum Power, Stokes and Oppenlander, Paukert, DGUV-I-203-077. This presentation shows how ETAP applies the DC arc incident energy models developed in IEEE "Methods for Evaluating DC Arc Incident Energy in Photovoltaic Systems"
This webinar discusses how well ETAP DC Arc Flash method results correlate with the test measured incident energies. The comparisons to be discussed include arc flash tests in photovoltaic and battery/rectifier powered systems. Furthermore, this webinar introduces major improvements to the DC Arc Flash calculation methods in ETAP 20; such as the “Incident Energy Subtraction Method" and new Worst-Case Datablocks from the DC Arc Flash Result Analyzer.
The topics discussed in this video are the characteristics of an Arc, DC Short Circuit calculations, the Maximum Power Method, the Stokes and Oppenlander Method, Paukert Method, how these methods are utilized in ETAP, the calculation of incident energy, how to configure ETAP 11.1 to determine whether or not you are dealing with an open or closed air equipment, and the result analyzer.
This module calculates the incident energy for different types of DC applications.
