Hello,
We are doing an arc flash study for a local television station. The problem we keep running into with our partners who go out to get the data and information for all the electrical equipment and devices did not get any equipment variables such as voltage or current readings while they were out at the site testing. They want us to do this arc flash assessment based on taking 80% of the full total load at each equipment, basically going to full worse case scenario on the entire study. If I did the arc flash assessment this way, would OSHA allow this based on their NFPA 70E standards and requirements?
Example: If they have a panel rated at 100A. I will put 80A in the software as their current load readings and we run a short circuit study and load flow report based on these inputs.
