Pink Text in the Spreadsheet
The spreadsheet displays pink text in certain conditions, depending on the standard selected.
- If the standard specified in Short Circuit Options is IEEE 1584-2018, then when the arc flash results are derived from the reduced arcing current calculated in the IEEE 1584-2018 equations, the text is displayed in pink.
- If the standard specified in Short Circuit Options is anything other than IEEE 1584-2018, then when 85% of calculated arc current (or the lower value specified as worst-case arcing current) yields a greater arc flash incident energy, the text results are displayed in pink.

In the printed Arc Flash Hazard report, the results for those devices for which arc current matches either of these conditions are marked with an asterisk (*).
