Abstract

Electricity is the need of every day’s life both at home and on industry. But sometimes it causes very dangerous incident called an arc flash hazard in industry which damages the equipment and harm the workers to a greater extent. For knowing the level of arc flash hazard and providing better protection to working personnel, analysis of it is very important. This paper presents an arc flash analysis of medium voltage level power system based on standard IEEE 1584. IEEE 30 bus network is considered for analysis purpose. Electrical Transient and Analysis Program (ETAP) Software is used for Arc Flash Hazard (AFH) analysis of medium voltage level system. Comparative analysis is carried out based on result of software and hand calculation. These results are then used to determine Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect personnel and Labels are also generated for equipment to alert operators about hazard level.
