Industry Leader in Comprehensive Arc Flash Analysis Solutions
ETAP Arc Flash Analysis provides multiple capabilities for faster and easier performance. ETAP Arc Flash Analysis allows you to identify and analyze high risk arc ash areas in your electrical system, and it also allows simulation of several different methods used by engineers to mitigate high incident energy. This integrated program enables you to create multiple scenarios to determine which conguration produces the highest incident energy. In addition, it provides several methods to print professional quality reports and arc ash labels.

Arc Flash Result Analyzer
Arc Flash analysis requires the consideration of several scenarios including those which produce the maximum and minimum fault current levels. The task of analyzing the results from different scenarios is greatly simplied with the use of the Arc Flash Result Analyzer. With one click, this time-saving tool allows you to determine which scenario produces the worst case results. The analyzer also provides warnings and lters out problem areas which present problems in the Arc Flash analysis. Once the results are analyzed, labels and reports can be generated directly from the analyzer for all the faulted locations including arc faults at the buses, protective devices, or load terminals.
Features
Sort results from different studies by multiple criteria Find the worst-case incident energy results Quickly identify incorrect sequence of protective device operation Find which protective devices failed to operate Filter out & analyze results by incident energy levels Identify arcing current variation problems Identify slow operation of protective devices Automatically Export / Create MS Excel arc ash reports Analyze the results in metric or english units Color code & lter results by incident energy level Group arc ash results by equipment location Generate standard / custom arc ash labels, work permits, and study parameters data sheets
Work Permits, Data Sheets, Labels, . . .
Work Permits
According to NFPA 70E 2012 guidelines, written permits (work permits) are required when working on energized electrical conductors or circuit parts that are not placed in an electrically safe work condition. ETAP Arc Flash provides work permits which include all the elements required by Article 130.2(B) of NFPA 70E. The benets of printing work permits from the AF program are the automatic population of the incident energy results and shock hazard analysis approach boundaries. The work permits also have the following features: Customizable to t different requirements Can be saved for all locations and stored with the ETAP project to be used at a later time Can be printed based on the worst case AF analysis results or based on whatever operating condition is used to perform the Data Sheets energized work. The data sheet is an enhanced version of the arc ash analysis report. It gives a detailed description of what selections (parameters) were made in the short circuit study case and how the bus results were obtained. This feature allows you to share with eld engineers or electricians all the study assumptions and study case options which were used to determine the arc ash analysis results. This information is of high importance to provide additional information about the methodology to determine the incident energy.
Multiple Language Arc Flash Labels
ETAP has a wide variety of professional quality arc ash labels in multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Automatically batch print arc ash labels based on highest incident energy from all operating modes.
Arc Flash Standards & Calculations
NFPA 70E 2009 Standard
ETAP gives the option to dene incident energy levels and personal protective equipment requirements based on NFPA 70E-2000, 2004, 2009 and 2012 standards.

Single Phase Arc Flash Calculations
In addition to 3-phase systems, ETAP arc ash allows you to perform arc ash calculations for 1-phase systems. This feature allows you to conservatively estimate the incident energy for single phase arc faults. The reality is that a lot of the equipment is single phase and engineers still need to determine what energy levels can be encountered at these locations. This tool allows the engineer to provide a conservative estimate of that energy.
DC Arc Flash Features & Calculation Methods
DC Arc Flash
The new NFPA 70E 2012 version includes one new annex section (Annex D.8) dedicated to the direct current incident energy calculation. The ETAP DC Short Circuit module has been integrated with three DC Arc Flash calculation methods. This allows the engineer to compare DC Arc Flash incident energy values and decide which method yields the most accurate results.
