SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PROTECTIVE DEVICE CLEARING TIMES USED FOR PROVIDING REAL-TIME PREDICTIONS ABOUT ARC FLASH EVENTS

摘要

A system for making real-time predictions about an arc flash event on an electrical system is disclosed. The system includes a data acquisition component, an analytics server and a client terminal. The data acquisition component is communicatively connected to a sensor configured to acquire real-time data output from the electrical system. The analytics server is communicatively connected to the data acquisition component and is comprised of a virtual system modeling engine, an analytics engine and an arc flash simulation engine.
