Summary

On any given day, 5-10 arc flash events occur in the United States. These arc flashes result in over 7,000 burn injuries annually. An arc flash can be caused by human error, equipment failure, aging equipment, failure to maintain

equipment, or conductive dust. Keeping your workplace safe and compliant is crucial to the safety of your people and

the success of your business.

Companies must maintain compliance with the many regulations and standards associated with electrical safety:

OSHA Standards 29 CFR, Part 1910 (occupational safety); NFPA Standard 70 (labels); NFPA 70E (workplace practices); IEEE 1584 (calculating arc hazard). A professional arc flash study will identify areas of risk and ensure

compliance with standards. The study will determine the level of personal protective equipment (PPE) required

when someone is near electrical equipment. The study should also indicate the remediation work necessary to get

the PPE level down to an incident energy rating below the desired target. Cost of compliance is unique to each facility; however, a single arc flash event can be far more expensive than maintaining compliance.

Section 1: Project Overview

Executive Summary

The following document presents the results of an Arc Flash Study performed by Interstates Engineering for the

. Recommendations were created from these results to minimize or eliminate danger

to personnel or electrical equipment in the facility. The Arc Flash results were calculated to determine what personal

protective equipment (PPE) is needed at each piece of electrical equipment and show that most of the equipment in the facility has a minimal arc flash hazard. The following pieces of equipment have a high arc flash rating and

changes are recommended: ADD INFO HERE. Similarly the short circuit results were calculated to determine the

safety of the electrical system equipment if a fault were to occur. Recommendations to increase the short circuit rating for the following equipment have been made in Section 2: ADD INFO HERE. Coordination of protective

devices in the facility was also analyzed to determine if the devices are correctly coordinated to trip in the proper

order. Coordination problems were prevalent in the facility and recommendations to change the settings or fuses on the following devices have been made in Section 2: ADD INFO HERE.

Scope of Work

This Arc Flash Study is being undertaken at the request of to analyze the electrical system in the

facility. A computer model in the SKM POWER TOOLS power analytics software was developed from the

information gathered and used to calculate the information needed to create the following reports. The following

discussion includes a clarification of the information used during calculations; a presentation of recommendations generated from the results of the study; arc flash results, short circuit results, and coordination results; and

supplementary appendices providing additional information about the studies. Any changes to the electrical system

of the facility may affect the arc flash ratings of the electrical equipment and invalidate the results of this study. For this reason, it is recommended that the arc flash for the entire facility be re-evaluated on a regular basis not

exceeding five years to account for such changes (as specified by NFPA 70E).

Clarifications

Information Received and Collected

The information used for this arc flash study was collected during an on-site audit performed the week of 2/24/2014

and included information like wire length, size, and type; breaker information and settings; enclosure ratings; and

transformer information. Short circuit availability at the service transformers was given to Interstates by . The main

service had a short circuit availability of VALUE at LOCATION IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

Assumptions

The following assumptions were made when performing the arc flash hazard analysis for the Air Liquide, Sergeant

Bluff facility:

1. 10300-1 NH3 HIGH STAGE FUSE

a. No fuse data could be found on this and so it was estimated to have the same fuse size as the larger

CO2 2nd STAGE STARTER.

2. 10300-3 DISC NH3 HIGH STAGE

a. The AIC rating and momentary rating could not be determined from site data collection or from existing

documentation. Both the AIC and momentary ratings have been assumed to be 10 kA.

3. 10515-3 PANEL A XFMR

a. The impedance of the transformer is unknown and so a typical value has used for a 15 kVA

transformer. See the data input report in appendix D for details.

4. 10515-5 PANEL A

a. The short circuit value could not be determined so a typical value of 10 kA SCR has been assumed.

5. 10516-3 PANEL B

a. The short circuit value could not be determined so a typical value of 10 kA SCR has been assumed.

6. 105201-5 PANEL E CIRCUIT BREAKER, 105215-5 PANEL D CIRCUIT BREAKER

a. The quicklag type BA breaker curve is not in the protective device library and has been assumed as a

similar thermal magnetic breaker. Specifically, a Westinghouse FDP SERC 100A.

This information was necessary for creating a model of the electrical system, but was not available or accessible at the time of the audit. These were made to model the system as accurately as possible while still providing the worst-

case arc flash value for the equipment.

Section 2: Results Recommendations

Recommendations have been provided to eliminate or minimize arc flash hazards, short circuit violations,

coordination issues, and NEC violations. Table 1: Recommendations on the following pages provides a brief description of each recommendation; further information may be found in the results sections or appendices.

Each recommendation has been given a priority ranking from 0 to 5, based on factors such as personnel safety,

electrical equipment safety, and accepted practices in industry. The rankings should be interpreted using the following scale.

• A ranking of 5 represents a very urgent item that poses a significant risk to personnel and plant safety.

• A ranking of 3 represents an issue that should be discussed and a plan put in place for remediation.

• A ranking of 1 represents a low priority issue that should be discussed, but action may not be needed.

• A ranking of 0 represents an item included for informational purposes only, no change is needed.

Section 2: Results Arc Flash Results

The Arc Flash Study was conducted to find out what personal protective equipment (PPE) is needed at each

switchboard, panelboard, control panel, and motor control center. PPE is only needed if the owner chooses to work on the equipment live. A warning tag will need to be clearly visible on each switchboard, panelboard,

industrial control panel, and motor control center. The tag will say “WARNING Arc Flash and Shock Hazard

Appropriate PPE Required”. Below is an example of the type of tag to be installed on the electrical equipment. The

information included on the tag corresponds to the arc flash tag information generated by the software arc flash module. The following pages present Table 2: Arc Flash Tag Information for the equipment that is potentially

subject to live work at this facility. Note that the equipment is sorted per the one-line drawings for the electrical

system. Below the arc flash tag is an example of the header of Table 2 with indicators of how the information from the table corresponds to the tags installed on equipment in the facility.

Section 2: Results Short Circuit Results

The short circuit rating of equipment indicates how much fault current the equipment can safely be subjected to

and still maintain proper operation. If the equipment is not rated properly for the available fault current, the

equipment could fail during a fault causing equipment and facility damage, plant downtime, or injury. Table 3:

Short Circuit Ratings is given on the following pages and shows the comparison between equipment short

circuit ratings, available fault current at that location, and a concern rating that matches the rating given in Table

1: Recommendations earlier in this report.

The concern level rating from 0 to 5 is based on an assessment of the difference between the available fault

current and component rating.

• A rating of 5 refers to a panel that has been analyzed as substantially under-rated for the available fault

current. These situations are high-priority and should be addressed immediately due to their danger for both

plant personnel and equipment.

• A rating of 3 refers to a device that has been assessed to be medium priority because it is insufficiently rated in comparison to the available fault current. These devices have some risk in a fault situation of sustaining

damage or are not rated high enough to accommodate additional load.

• A rating of 1 refers to a device that has been assessed to be low priority because it does appear to be sufficiently rated for the available fault current, but there are questions about the rating of the equipment or

the available fault current is close to exceeding the rated value.

• A rating of 0 refers to a device that has a short circuit rating high enough to easily handle the available fault current; no changes are recommended in this situation.

Section 2: Results Protective Device Coordination

The coordination study calculates how the overcurrent protective devices (fuses, breakers, relays, etc.) in the

system will interact with each other under various overload or fault conditions. Table 4: Breaker and Fuse

Coordination Settings gives the settings of protective devices found in the facility and recommendations where applicable. Protective device curves, where given, are noted by a separate page numbering system in Table 4 and

can be found in Appendix C: Coordination Curves. See Table 1: Recommendations for more information on

recommendations involving changes in coordination settings.

Section 3: Appendices C: Coordination Curves

The coordination study calculates how the overcurrent devices in the system will interact with each other under

various overload or fault conditions. On the graphs, current is shown on the horizontal axis and time is on the

vertical axis. Note that each curve is plotted at a reference voltage of 480V even though some devices may be rated for higher or lower voltages. Progressing from left to right on the horizontal axis, the fault or overload

current is increased. Trip times are calculated by finding the correct fault or overload condition on the horizontal

axis, and moving vertically upward until a protective device curve is intercepted.

These trip times can be adjusted either by making changes to the settings on the adjustable breakers or by using a

different size and style of fixed-magnitude breaker or fuse. By adjusting these trip times, the system can be coordinated so that if a fault does occur, the fewest pieces of equipment possible are shut down. Example: If a fault

would happen at a motor, you would want the individual breaker or fuse in the starter bucket to open and shut that

motor down. You would not want the main breaker to open and shut down the entire MCC. Proper settings

minimize the probability of this occurring.

A listing of the settings and sizes of the breakers included in this study can be found in Table 4 – Breaker and

Fuse Coordination Settings. Not all curves are shown in this appendix because there were no coordination issues

or no recommendations made for changes to coordination settings.

Recommendations for new breaker settings have been made and are shown as a second entry in Table 4 – Breaker

and Fuse Coordination Settings.
