Presentation: Evaluation of Protection and Coordination using IEEE 1584-2018 Constant Incident Energy “C-Area” Plots
The new arc-flash model has five electrode configurations and several other input parameters to account for enclosure dimensions. The increased input parameter variability makes, has raised some industry concerns and makes it far more difficult to determine the worst-case incident energy. This presentation introduces a brand new method for considering many input parameter variations during the protection and coordination study. This simplified arc-flash analysis technique allows for determination of the settings of overcurrent protective devices or selection of arc-rated PPE based on a reference incident energy C-area TCC plots. The C-area plots are created based on the equations of IEEE Std. 1584-2018, taking into consideration potential variation in the input parameters described in the standard.
The presentation covers:
Background on C-line and now C-area plots
Mathematical Derivation of the C-area plots
Typical Input Parameter Variations and their Sources
C-area plots Types based on Fault Location
MV and LV Application Examples in ETAP
Ease of Use Arc-Flash Enhancements
In this presentation you will learn how to configure and apply C-area plots to reduce dozens of arc-flash scenarios during the protection and coordination settings evaluation stage. Also included, is an introduction to new ETAP 19.5 arc-flash “Ease-of-Use” features added to increase and improve efficiency and arc-flash deliverables.
This event is open to all engineers and managers who are interested in learning about the latest features and capabilities of ETAP. New and experienced ETAP users will gain valuable knowledge and be more productive with ETAP.
This event is free and registration is required. Seating is limited, please register early.
