ArcFlash™ Moldule Features

Double-click any bus or device to see PPE, arc hazard, and arc boundary requirements

Automatic calculations of bus and branch arcing currents, with protective device clearing times determined for accurate arc energies
Full ANSI-standard short-circuit calculations
Model ANSI short-circuit calculations using momentary (full motor contributions), interrupting (only motors >50 HP) or 30-cycle currents (no motors) for unmatched flexibility
Option to include or exclude buses/equipment from calculations
Automatically and correctly selects the fastest protective trip times (for single-source systems) no matter how many protective devices
Selects the slowest protective device (for multiple sources) for “worst-case” hazards
Fuses and breakers can be modeled using current-limiting equations
Model differential (87), partial differential, arc flash (light) sensing, zone interlocking (ZSI), and other instantaneous sensing devices
Display of bus-based or detailed arc flash values

Thousands of pre-loaded and user-definable equipment types and arc gaps (switchgear, MCCs, panels, VFD, and more)
Measurement units (mm, cm, meters, inches, feet)
Arc flash boundary energy
Fault types (3-phase, line-line, line-ground, and double-line-ground)
Multiple working distances for each voltage level or user-defined distances for specific equipment

Automatically prints ANSI Z535-compliant arc flash labels
Fully customizable label templates—any language, any graphic
Direct output on high-quality UV-resistant vinyl labels to various label printers
Multicolor printing

Detailed spreadsheet provides at-a-glance arc flash calculations for easy review: NFPA 70E flash boundaries, incident energies, PPE requirements, approach boundaries, and more
Reports can include detailed let-through energy for all devices, worst-case bus values, or worst-case line-side values
ScenarioManager™ provides detailed comparison of all facility operating conditions for one-touch verification
Reporting in English or metric units
