ARCAD Arc Flash Analysis
ARCAD is pleased to introduce the new ARC FLASH ANALYTIC ( AFA V3.0 ) software program for arc flash and shock hazard analysis. AFA V3.0
has been developed based on NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 as an easy to use
and comprehensive tool for calculating arc incident energy, flash
protection boundary, determining limited, restricted, prohibited shock
approach boundaries and risk category required by N.E.C and OSHA when
work is to be performed on or near the energized equipment.
Results You Can Trust
Every release of AFA is verified and validated
against established programs and hand calculations in order to ensure
its technical accuracy. Each release of AFA undergoes a complete
verification process using hundreds of test cases.
Try out AFA V3.0 with a free demo or visit product page and check out AFA V3.0 on CD or electronically.
AFA V3.0 Key Features
1) IEEE 1584 EMPIRICALLY DERIVED MODEL AND LEE METHOD. Applicable for systems with:
- Voltages in the range of 208V to 46kV
- Bolted fault currents in the range of 700A to 106kA
- Switchgears, MCC, panels, cables and arc in open air
2) IEEE 1584 FUSE EQUATIONS. Applicable for systems protected by current limiting Class RK1 and Class L fuses.
3) IEEE 1584 LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER EQUATIONS. Applicable for systems protected by:
- Molded case, insulated case (MCCB & ICCB) circuit breakers,
- LVPCB low voltage power circuit breakers

AFA V3.0 Key Capabilities
1) Determine
- arcing current
- incident energy
- flash protection boundary
- limited, restricted and prohibited shock approach boundaries
- initial arc pressure
- arc TNT equivalent
- risk category
- typical clothing system
2) Save results for future reference or printing.
3) Perform analysis using metric (mm, Joules, kg ) or imperial units (inches, calories, lb ).
4) Create customized color or black-and-white warning labels in English, French and Spanish. |
| Calculator-style interface makes
complex calculations easy to understand. Detailed procedure for IEEE
1584 based arc flash calculations has been included in the calculator.
An effective arc flash safety program must be designed on a reliable
foundation. Arc flash studies must be performed by qualified persons
using a quality analysis tool which provide accurate results that you
can trust and rely on.
Company profile:
ARCAD
helps facilities create safer working environments for individuals who
service electrical systems by providing On-Line and PC based software
tools for Short Circuit and Arc Flash Hazard Analysis. NFPA requires
that any panel likely to be serviced by a worker be surveyed and
labeled. ARCAD service includes resources and tools allowing plant and
facility managers and personnel to perform short circuit, incident
energy, arc flash protection boundary, level of PPE calculations, and
create customized arc flash warning labels themselves drastically
reducing the cost of getting in compliance with OSHA, NFPA70E and new
Canadian CSA Z462 standards.
