New Commercial Building Approval of plans does not constitute approval of variance from code Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Web Sites: https://www.rockymountainpower.net/working-with-us/business-customers/arc-flash-fault-current.html https://www.pacificpower.net/working-with-us/business-customers/arc-flash-fault-current.html Revisions Arc Flash Arc flash analysis determines the arc flash boundary, the incident energy at working distance, and the level of personal protective equipment required for personnel to work within the arc flash boundary. The Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) mandate arc flash analysis to determine the Hazard Risk Category (HRC) which establishes the level of Flame Resistant (FR) clothing required for personal protection. NFPA 70 E, Article 130.5 states, "The arc flash hazard analysis shall be updated when a major modification or renovation takes place, and is to be reviewed periodically, not to exceed 5 years. Secondary Fault Current NFPA 70 (National Electric Code), Article 110.24 requires electrical service panels be labeled with available fault current. This helps ensure properly sized equipment is installed, reducing the probability of damage caused by electrical faults. Electrical power system fault duties tend to increase as systems are modified. Rocky Mountain Power and Pacific Power'spolicy is to provide secondary fault current at the transformer assuming an infinite source. Tables found in tab "Fault Current Infinite Bus" provide these values. Transformer size must be confirmed.

These tables list common transformer fuses. The purpose of these fuses is to provide a means to de-energize transformers, prevent transformer damage, and isolate damaged transformers from electrical source. These fuses do not provide protection from arc flash or electrical contact.
