Paladin DesignBase Arc
Flash Simulation Module helps safety engineers
estimate the energy falling on a surface removed from
a fault based on the tests results given in IEEE-1584
and recommendations of NFPA 70E.
Quickly identify the grade of clothing required by
the operator who is working with energized equipment
and easily provide protective signs for electrical equipment
stating the type of protective clothing required when
working around energized equipment. Core capabilities
include:
- Arc Flash Exposure based on IEEE 1584.
- Arc Flash Exposure based on NFPA 70E.
- Network-Based Arc Flash Exposure on AC Systems/Single
Branch Case.
- Network-Based Arc Flash Exposure on AC Systems/Multiple
Branch Cases.
- Stand-Alone (Non-Network) Arc Flash Exposure
on AC Systems.
- Network Arc Flash Exposure on DC Networks.
- Stand-Alone Arc Flash Exposure on DC Systems.
- Exposure Simulation at Switchgear Box, MCC
Box, Open Area and Cable Grounded and Ungrounded.
- Calculate and Select Controlling Branch(s)
for Simulation of Arc Flash.
- Test Selected Clothing Calculate Clothing.
- Required Calculate Safe Zone with Regard to
User Defined Clothing Category.
