Arc Flash Exercise 11

Description
This exercise compares the three methods ETAP uses to calculate DC Arc Flash Incident Energy to a
paper called "Arc Flash Calculation for Exposures to DC Systems" Daniel R Doan
IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications Vol. 46 No. 6 November / December 2010. This paper
illustrates common systems and hand calculates arcing current and incident energy.

Purpose
To compare different arc flash methods based on NFPA 70E 2018 standard.

Setup

 Load the project file named “Arc Flash Example 11”.


 Use the library file “AF-Example11.lib” located inside the example directory.
 Enter the following ETAP\Option (Preferences) before executing the exercise steps:

Procedure

Step 1
Setup the following scenarios using the “Scenario Wizard” tool.

Scenario ID Study Type Study Case Report Name

MAXPOWER DC Arc-Flash MaxPower MaxPower


PAUKERT DC Arc-Flash Paukert Paukert
STOKES DC Arc-Flash Stokes Stokes

Step 2
Setup a Macro that includes all three scenarios and Run the Macro
