After all of my reading, one question that I haven't found a definative answer on is the required Short Circuit Current required to create a arc Flash at 480v. If anyone is able to reference me to it, that would be greatly appreciated.
So, from what I've gathered here:
Ignore
208v and below
125kVA transformers and below. For this, are they saying that I can ignore them at a 480v level, or only if the secondary is below 208v?
Sadly I don't get to use software. Since the company already has the study completed, the don't want to spend anymore money than they already have for new software,
other than my wages :-) (I believe they hired a company to complete the original Arc Flash Study)
So i get to formulate...
Point taken. The reason for a Co-op is to learn. An arc flash hazard analysis has already been completed at the plants. This company is using it as a test to see what I know and what I am able to complete using resources which are available to me.
Currently I am a completing a EE co-op. My project that I have been assigned is to determine the Arc Flash boundries and PPE requirements for their equipment. I'm a bit thrown to the wolves in this b/c my background has been more of circuit design up until this point.
