Equation for Arc in Open Air
NFPA eq. DA = distance from arc electrodes, inches (for distances 18 in. and greater) tA = arc duration, seconds (cycles / 60 cycles) F = bolted fault short circuit current, in kA (for the range of 16 to 50kA)
B - 5.1 EMA = 5271 x DA-1.9593 x tA x (0.0016 x F2 - 0.0076 x F + 0.8938)
EMA = maximum open arc incident energy ANSWER
Equation for Arc in a Cubic Box
NFPA eq. DB = distance from arc electrodes, inches (for distances 18 in. and greater) tB = arc duration, seconds (cycles / 60 cycles) F = bolted fault short circuit current, in kA (for the range of 16 to 50kA)
B - 5.2 EMB = 1038.7 x DB-1.4738 x tA x (.0093 x F2 - .3453 x F + 5.9675)
EMB = maximum 20 in. cubic box incident energy ANSWER
Arc Flash Protection (bolted fault) Boundary
NFPA eq. MVA bf = bolted fault MVA at point involved V = volts % Z = percent impedance based on transformer MVA t = time of arc exposure in seconds, (cycles / 60 cycles)
B- 2-1 ISC = {{[MVA Base x 106 ] / [1.732 x V]} x 100 / % Z}
ISC = Short Circuit Current ANSWER
B- 2-2 P = 1.732 x V x Isc 10-6 x 0.7072
P = 1.732 x V x Isc 10-6 x 0.7072
P = Maximum Power (in MW) in a 3-phase arc ANSWER
B-2-3.2 Dc = [ 2.65 x MVA bf x t ] 1/2
Dc = Curable Burn Distance ANSWER
Dc = Curable Burn Distance ANSWER
Arc Flash Protection (transformer) Boundary
NFPA eq. MVA = rating of transformer V t ==Ztime % volts = percent impedance of arc exposure based on transformer in seconds, (cycles / 60 MVA cycles)
B-2-3.3 Dc = [ 53 x MVA x t ] 1/2
Dc = Curable Burn Distance ANSWER
Dc = Curable Burn Distance ANSWER
