| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Create Permit |
Select the check boxes in this column to create a work permit corresponding to each work task. |
|
Work Task |
Type of work to be performed. These tasks are defined in the device library. The tasks listed as default tasks are as per NFPA 70E. You can add to or modify the default data in the library. |
|
Incoming Source |
This field is marked with “X” if the equipment worked upon is protected by an upstream device. For example, if work was to be performed on the main breaker or the incoming cable, then any fault on the line side of the breaker would be interrupted by the upstream protective device. Therefore, the trip time of the upstream device would be used in calculating the arc flash hazard results. |
|
Working Distance |
The anticipated closest working distance from the employees’ chest/face to the closest energized exposed part. |
|
Distance Unit |
Units of the working distance. This is typically in inches. You can change it to mm from the standard library. |
|
Auto-Hyperlink Work Permits to Bus |
Work permits that are created are automatically hyperlinked to the Bus Data. Since the hyperlink is created while you are in the Short Circuit focus, you must save the temporary changes to the database when you enter the Database Edit focus, or the hyperlink will be lost. |
|
Electrode Configuration |
This is the electrode configuration of the bus. This choice affects the calculations used in the arc flash hazard equations. The configuration is already specified on the bus data, but this option enables you to override it if it was not entered correctly on the bus. You can also specify multiple electrode configurations. Electrode configurations are only applicable to the IEEE 1584-2018 standard. See Electrode Configuration for more information. Note: You may receive a warning message that the electrode configuration is not being considered. See Standard in Arc Flash Hazard Options and Apply IEEE Calculation Factor Based on Electrode Configuration in Advanced Arc Flash Options for more information. |
