How to do an Arc Flash Analysis

 Arc-flash incident energies and boundary distances can be calculated in a variety of ways. For example, you can use the equations from IEEE Standard 1584. The IEEE 1584 established nine-steps in the arc flash hazard analysis process, namely:
1. Collect system and installation data
2. Determine system modes of operation
3. Determine bolted fault currents
4. Determine arc fault currents
5. Find protective device characteristics and duration of arcs
6. Document system voltages and classes of equipment
7. Select working distances
8. Determine incident energy for all equipment
9. Determine flash-protection boundary for all equipment
