These calculations also define the distance to the point where the incident energy is below 1.2 cal/cm 2 — establishing an arc flash boundary. The table approach lists an approach boundary for ...

A few years ago, the term “arc flash” crept into our electrical technical vocabulary. Since that time, performing arc flash calculations remains a challenge for many of us. Calculating incident energy ...

Arc flash is the term describing an extremely dangerous electrical hazard when uncontrolled current passes between two conductors. When voltage is high enough (over 480V), the intense heat of the ...
