Nec Arc Flash Requirements NEC 240 67 is a requirement that relates to arc fault currents which is not explicitly defined in NEC IEEE 1584 2018 defines arc current as A fault current flowing through an electrical arc plasma Due to the added impedance of the electrical arc plasma the value of an arcing fault current will always be less than the bolted fault potential
Table 410 4 adds a new table based on the latest Arc Flash testing on live front transformers Rule 092A added an exception allowing protection control safety battery systems to not be grounded Rules 234 B1 C1 D1 are revised to better present vertical and horizontal wind clearances and coordinate requirements with new Table 234 7 Learn about the NEC 240 67 code changes that require arc energy reduction for fuses rated 1200A or higher This presentation by Eaton Bussmann explains the rationale the options and the benefits of complying with the new standard to enhance safety and reliability

Arc Energy Reduction What s new in NEC 2017 One thing that s new is an update to Article 240 87 Acceptable Methods for Arc Energy Reduction which defines when arc flash mitigation must be applied Given that incident energy is a product of current and time fault clearing time is a special concern wherever significant currents are present

In the 2017 National Electrical Code NEC Article 240 87 Arc Energy Reduction requires that a method for reducing fault clearing time be provided when equipment is supplied with electricity through overcurrent protection devices rated or adjustable to 1200 Amps or higher To reduce available arc energy many electrical equipment Motor control centers The requirement of 110 16 A mandates a general arc flash hazard warning label nothing more Reference Figure 1 Figure 1 Arc flash hazard warning label as required by 110 16 A of NEC 2017 NEC 2017 introduced the new first level subdivision 110 16 B Service Equipment
In the 2017 edition of the NEC article 240 87 arc energy reduction is required where the highest continuous current trip setting for which the actual overcurrent device installed in a circuit breaker is rated or can be adjusted is 1200 A or higher
