Where k1 is the open air or box factor (-0.792 for Open and 0.555 for boxed)
k2 is the ungrounded/grounded factor (0 for ungrounded and
-0.113 for grounded system)
Cf is the calculation factor (1.5 for LV and 1.0 for MV)
D is working distance
X is the distance factor 2.0 for LV & MV open air, 0.973 for MV
switchgear, 1.473 for LV switchgear, 1.641 for MCC and panel
Another objective of arc-flash study is to determine the arcflash boundary which is defined by IEEE 1584 as approach limit at
a distance from exposed live parts within which a person could
receive a second degree burn if an electrical arc-flash were to
occur. The incident energy at that boundary that can incur such
injury is about 5 Joule/cm2. The arc-flash boundary (DB) is
calculated as
DB=[4.184 Cf Ein (t/0.2) (610x/EB)]1/x
