00:08Welcome to ETAP, this video presents a quick guide to get started with the module
00:13an ETAP electric arc. Before running the calculation, you must ensure that the data
00:19The necessary parameters have been introduced to perform a short-circuit calculation and determine the
00:24fault clearance times. Once this is done, we can prepare the data required for
00:30To calculate the electric arc, and in the busbar editor, on the Rating tab, you can find values
00:37Typical values for the X factor and for the spacing between conductors or bars. Select the type of
00:45equipment that represents the bar, which can be a power panel, or a control center of
00:50engines. You can fill in the data in the editor, or select data options, to change the
01:01Arc flash analysis data, or discharge risk assessment data. Also
01:07You can run the arc flash calculation based on global parameters. On this tab, you can
01:13Establish the global spacing between bars or conductors. The working distance, and
01:19Other parameters are used in the electric arc calculation. This can save you time.
01:24and you would only have to define the type of team represented by each bar.
01:33By clicking on the edit button, you can view the data that will be used in the calculation.
01:45Before performing the calculation, the calculation method to be used must be defined.
01:54The fault clearing time is automatically determined from the current time curves
01:59for each projection, or you can select a user-defined clearing time.
02:09Next, you must select the bars you want to analyze, either from the case study,
02:15Graphically, this lunifilar diagram is displayed. Select "Run electric arc," and the calculation is performed.
02:22for all bars of interest, or you can run an operating sequence for electric arc,
02:31and calculate the incident energy for this specific location, and graphically identify the device
02:38of protection that the lack of arc is desired to clear. They execute multiple cases using
02:44different configurations, different revisions, and store the combinations in the scenario manager.
02:55And before finalizing all cases, review all available options in the editor.
03:00Preferences, the tools menu. Among the available options is the calculation of
03:06arc on the load side of the protective device, or at the load terminals,
03:12or the subtraction of incident energy from systems, such as sources. Then it uses the
03:20Arc flash results analyzer, to view any result from all your studies,
03:26or quickly compare all the studies to determine the worst-case incident energy,
03:32or the minimum incident energy, in a single view. You can apply other types of filters,
03:38in the results analysis, or select several teams, to print the logos of
03:44safety, or analyze an operating sequence, for all selected equipment, and identify
03:50The protective device, which clears the fault, for each case. You can also export the
03:57The results, the results analyzer, to an Excel file, and create logos for your teams.
