Bob,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this Arc Flash Study.
This binder contains all information relevant to your Arc Flash Study, including drawings and spare Arc Flash
labels. In addition, electronic versions of the files in PDF, and the study data files are saved on a USB flash
drive provided in an envelope in the binder. The relevant engineering software package (such as SKM
PowerTools or EasyPower) is required to open the study files.
It is recommended the USB drive be retained in a secure, documented location within your organization, as it
contains important information that may need to be referenced over time as changes in equipment and
personnel occur. e-Hazard retains an electronic version of all related files, in the event further discussion is
needed, or questions arise.
For any additional clarification, relative to this report, please call me at (502) 716-7073.
Thank you,
Zarheer Jooma
Introduction
The SKM PowerTools version 9.0 software program was used to determine Arc Flash incident energy levels and
arc flash boundaries based on the IEEE 1584™ 2018 Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations and
the NFPA 70E® 2018 Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. This project also provides the short-circuit
current analysis and equipment evaluation.
The results of the calculations and models are presented in drawings based on the facility’s distribution
system. The calculations have been based on the data provided by the plant.
Utility Contribution
The utility contribution data was supplied by ABC Utility and is attached at the end of this report.
Table 130.5(C)(15)(A)(a) Estimate of the Likelihood of Occurrence of an Arc Flash Hazard Incident
for ac and dc Systems
Likelihood of
Task Equipment Condition Occurrence*
…
Operation of a circuit breaker (CB), Normal
switch, contactor, or starter
All of the following:
(1) The equipment is properly installed.
(2) The equipment is properly maintained.
(3) The equipment is used in in accordance with
instructions included in the listing and labeling and No
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
(4) The equipment doors are closed and secured.
(5) All equipment covers are in place and secured.
(6) There is no evidence of impending failure such
as arcing, overheating, loose or bound equipment
parts, visible damage, or deterioration.
NFPA 70E makes it clear the determination of this condition can only be made by the responsible person in
charge of the facility. If the facility has evidence and documentation as per the requirements of NFPA 70E
205.3, 205.4 and 210.5 that all five conditions are met, then no arc rated PPE would be required to operate
disconnects with the doors properly closed and latched. It is, however, unlikely that equipment is maintained
to the exact specifications of the manufacturer. For reference see the NFPA extracts listed below.
The facility should adopt a safer approach by providing appropriate Arc Rated clothing as specified in the NFPA
70E® 2018 Table 130.5(G) Selection of Arc-Rated Clothing and Other PPE When the Incident Energy Analysis
Method Is Used. At minimum these would require the use of arc rated clothing and equipment by the task
qualified workers including at least an arc rated face shield, arc rated balaclava, arc rated clothing, leather
gloves, and standard issued PPE when performing the lock out procedure or to interact with the MCC,
panelboard, or disconnect in question. If this approach is taken, the under-layer clothing shall be 100% natural
fiber non-melting clothing per NFPA 70E. After the disconnect switch is operated to the “off” position and
electrically verified then lock out procedures can be performed on the equipment under an electrically safe
work condition without any arc rated PPE.
Equipment Labeling
The switchboard sections will be labeled to the actual incident energy levels per the requirements of IEEE 1584
and NFPA 70E for testing, troubleshooting and interacting with the device with exposed energized parts. All
disconnects that could require maintenance, testing or trouble shootings will be labeled to the requirements
of NFPA 70E® 130.5(H).
The method of calculating and the data to support the information for the label shall be documented. The data
shall be reviewed for accuracy at intervals not to exceed 5 years. Where the review of the data identifies a
change that renders the label inaccurate, the label shall be updated.
The owner of the electrical equipment shall be responsible for the documentation, installation, and
maintenance of the field-marked label.
The labels provided are based on a site-specific PPE selection as per NFPA 70E-2018 130.5(H)(3)(c) and the PPE
Poster in this report. Refer to the table below and further details provided at the end of the Incident Energy
Summary Report.
System Mis-coordination
The Incident Energy Summary Report indicates no areas of over current device mis-coordination on Samtec
equipment.
NFPA 70E requires initial qualified training and retraining every three years for your qualified electrical
workers. We typically recommend electrical safety training after the labeling activity as this can provide a
customized session for your specific equipment and what the labels require as far as proper work practices.
This arc flash study should be reviewed and updated anytime there is a significant change in equipment,
facility expansion/renovation, or at least every five years as required by NFPA 70E. If the utility contacts you
for a service interruption, ask the question for what purpose. If they are upgrading the transmission line or
transmission / distribution transformers, this is your indication to find out what the change will be to your
incoming fault current and relay clearing times which can affect the arc flash calculations.
If the utility hasn’t changed anything relative to your incoming service fault current and you have not changed
anything in your distribution system on site, then the review can be a very simple process of noting this fact
every five years. A verification from the utility contribution as indicated in the utility information in this
document and listed on the drawing is all that would be required.
General Information
The panelboard located outside of the distilling area was not locked. Since it is accessible to the public, it
should be locked. Panelboards A and B doors and covers are severely misaligned and should be repaired or
replaced. Several electrical panels had items stored within 38”. Those items should be removed to allow for
emergency access to electrical equipment.
The calculations and resultant incident energy levels are based upon the overcurrent device operating as
designed and maintained. Maintenance intervals should be based on the manufacturer’s recommendations or
industry consensus testing standards. This is typically a 3-year interval based on the conditions of the
equipment. The NETA documents provide guidance to adjust these intervals based on location conditions.
Layering of Arc rated clothing is allowed, as long as it has been tested as a system. This information is available
on the clothing makers WEB sites as well as on ArcWear.com. Contact your clothing supplier for rating
information on your specific PPE.

We are seeking the following details for an engineering and arc flash study at the facility listed above.
There are two services and we have highlighted these on the picture below:
Red shows the first service and its meter. Blue shows the second service with its meter in a cabinet
inside the building.
Page 1 of 5
Transformer #1 cabinet locked, and the meter covered appears to be damaged by the sun – the
meter number unavailable
1 Transformer MVA
2 Transformer Pri/Sec Voltages
3 Transformer %Z
4 Available 3phase Short Circuit current at the primary
terminals
5 3 ph X/R ratio at the primary terminals
6 Internal primary fuses (expulsion or bayonet) available?
If “YES”, what are the fuse(s) types and rating?
If “NO”, then
a) what are the first fuses on the primary side
and how far away are these fuses
b) What is the available 3phase short circuit
current and available X/R at the location of
the fuse? [if it is far enough to change the
values at the transformer)
7 Does LG&E have any fuses or protection on the
secondary side of the transformer or inside the
customers building? (See Pictures below)
