ETAP arc flash analysis software makes it easier to specify arc flash analysis data that should be applied to low voltage equipment such as motors based on IEEE 1584-2018.
- Consider motor fault current decay for arc flash analysis
- Automatically exclude small motor contributions entirely from the arc flash analysis
- The arc flash analysis software automatically adjusts the arc fault current based on the decaying motor contributions and determines the effect on the energy and protective device response.
- User-definable cycle (time) for motor contribution to allow better modeling of motor time constants for the arc flash calculation.
- The arc flash analysis program automatically updates the maximum or minimum or both currents based on multiple scenarios that give different short-circuit currents to the bus.
- Automatically assign arc flash incident energy to type of equipment based on fault current ranges and voltage levels below IEEE 1584 model.
