Arc Flash Hazard Reports

Arc flash hazard reports are generated in the form of a spreadsheet. To generate the report:

  • Ensure the Arc Flash Spreadsheet check box is selected under Short Circuit Options > Arc Flash Hazard.
  • Fault one or more buses in the Short Circuit focus.
  • Click  Arrange for Arc Flash or press F8 to view the report. You can also select Arc Flash Hazard Report under the Window button to display the report.

The following figure shows a report for faulting “SWG-4” in a sample one-line. This report shows the arc flash results for only the protective device upstream to the bus. When Bus Hazards (Incl Main) is selected in Short Circuit Options - Arc Flash Hazard, only the significant upstream protective devices are reported.
