Developing Fault Scenarios
Developing Fault Scenarios
(OP)
I am currently developing a list of fault scenarios for an arc flash study with a system containing over 500 busses and am wondering what the standard for developing these scenarios is? ie: Do I consider a fault at each and every bus for each operating configuration (tie breakers closed, tied breakers open) or do I only consider certian busses? If so, which busses should I be consider in developing the fault scenarios?

If you don't have a copy of IEEE-1584, you should get one and review the step-by-step procedure outlined in it. That will be a good starting point.
Then you will have to decide what scenarios you need to consider. But it's not an exact science.
