Product Description
* Download Link also emailed to you after you order. ARCAD helps facilities create safer working environments for individuals who service electrical systems by providing On-Line and PC based software tools for Short Circuit and Arc Flash Hazard Analysis. NFPA requires that any panel likely to be serviced by a worker be surveyed and labeled. ARCAD service includes resources and tools allowing plant and facility managers and personnel to perform short circuit, incident energy, arc flash protection boundary, level of PPE calculations, and create customized arc flash warning labels themselves reducing the cost of obtaining compliance with OSHA, NFPA70E and new Canadian CSA Z462 standards.
Benefits:
- Calculator-style interface makes complex calculations easy to understand.
- Provide a safer working environment by specifying the proper level of PPE. Wearing inadequate clothing is dangerous for obvious reasons, but wearing too much clothing is dangerous due to limited mobility and visibility.
- Design safer power systems while insuring compliance with NEC 110.16, OSHA, NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 standards.
- Avoid potential fines, lost productivity, and increased insurance and litigation costs.
- Save time by generating arc flash warning labels in electronic .JPG and .BMP formats
- Customize labels by selecting and adding information displayed on them.
- Save results in generic text format for future reference or printing with one button click.
- Perform analysis using metric (mm, Joules ), imperial units (inches, calories ), or even a mix of both
- Calculate arc blast explosion pressure and arc TNT equivalent
- Create warning labels in English, French or Spanish
What makes our short circuit calculator different?

First and foremost, ArcAd's short circuit online calculator features input data analysis and hard coded error propagation rules ensuring that the resulting fault current values are not more precise than justified by the accuracy of input data.. This is very important but widely ignored issue.

Ability to accurately handle motor and generator contributions. Many programs and procedures of this type do not properly account for motor loads as they simply have the user add the motor contribution to the utility source KVA. Some programs make short circuit fault current assumptions based on transformer size etc. This inadvertently distorts short circuit fault current values and blurbs the safety margin. The calculator allows motors and generators to be placed anywhere in the network. The contribution from each motor and the utility source is vectorally added at every point where they intersect. This provides an extremely accurate analysis of the maximum short circuit MVA any node can be subject to.

By performing short circuit MVA analysis for positive, negative and zero sequences, symmetrical three phase and unsymmetrical phase to ground, phase to phase, double phase to ground fault currents can be resolved. Arc flash software
