3.3 Switch back to SC mode and change the arcing current variation in the SC study case to 0%. Re-run
the calculation. What hazard category does the program calculate now?
___________________________________________________________________________
Observe the results for a fault at bus Switchgear A. The warning message indicates that the calculated
incident energy is too high (similar to Bus2).
3.4 If you open the Arc Flash page of Bus Switchgear A, which device does the program select as the
source protective device?
____________________________________________________________________________
3.5 If you place a bolted short-circuit fault on Switchgear A, which device operates first?
____________________________________________________________________________
Step4
Try to change the current protective device settings or add protective devices as needed in order to reduce
the incident energy to a category 2 or 3.
