Available for elec calc™ and elec calc™ BIM, the arc flash module provides the professionals of the electrical industry with a fundamental tool in the sector. elec calc™ now includes new features that allows the calculation of the quantified elements of the Arc Flash, from which the user will be able to develop its safety analysis in the vicinity of switchboards and panels. The Arc Flash module for elec calc™ is based on the calculation methods recommended by the IEEE-1584-2018 standard: empirically derived model or method of Lee according to the characteristics of the installation. Most of the data needed for the calculation is retrieved from the designed installation (maximum and minimum short-circuit currents and related cut-off times, ….). Through a simple dialogue window, the user completes or modifies the specific data of the equipment. The Arc Flash module for elec calc™ or elec calc™ BIM calculates: The maximum incident energy at the working distance The protection boundary for the boundary energy The glove class (PPE) to be used to prevent the risk of electric shock (IEC 60903 and ASTM D 120)
