Addition of a new Arc Flash tab in the device data editor.New equations, new methods, new approaches, many new steps, and much more robust and complexĮquations based on more than 2000 tests conducted in five different configurations are now part of the 2018Īs we continue our efforts to enrich the features beyond what is included in the IEEE 1584 2018 Arc flashĬalculation standard, here are a few of the most important features: Now the question is, what changed in IEEE 1584 2018? It would be easier to answer what did not change. It took the IEEEġ584 Arc Flash committee sixteen years to publish a second revision of 1584 standard to address all concerns Method to calculate arcing short circuit current, incident energy, and arc flash boundary. IEEE published the 1584 Arc Flash calculation standard in 2002 and it was the first standard to provide a Watch this video showing some of the updated features in the DesignBase 7.0 release.įunctionality Summary, DesignBase 7 and Arc Flash IEEE 1584-2018 This release includes features such as a new arc flash tab in the device data editor, an equipment class type for enclosure sizing, user defined enclosure sizes and the ability to choose which general approach you want use to run arc flash analysis. EasyPower LLC is excited to announce the release of DesignBase 7.0, with new features to update the software to the IEEE 1584-2018 arc flash calculations standard as well as other safety and workflow enhancement improvements.
