    Arc Resistant Switchgear

    What does arc resistant switchgear do with respect to mitigating arc flash hazards? I know, qualitatively it reduces the risk an an arc flash incident, but how may this be quantified with respect to calculating arc flash hazards? For instance, if I have a switgear lineup that has an arc flash...

    NFPA Arc Flash & FPB

    When calculating the the flash protection boundary (FPB) it is based upon the panels of the equipment removed (ie: someone has the covers removed working on it). Is the FPB different if the covers on the the equipment? ie: do they terminate at the surface of the enclosure if the covers are on?

    Arc Flash & GE AK-50 Circuit Breaker

    I'm doing an arc flash study, and according to ETAP if I delay the LSIG settings and increase the pickup time on a GE AK-50 (1600A frame) breaker the arc flash will increase - the converse is true if I turn down both of the settings... Somehow this does not seem correct to me? ie: The CPT of...
