Comparison of IEEE 1584-2018 Predictions with Tests on Real-World Equipment

Here is the paper abstract:IEEE 1584-2018 contains a significant update to industry models for predicting the incident energy from arc flash. These models include different box sizes, voltages, and electrode geometries. Predictions from these models are compared to tests on medium-voltage equipment. Equipment includes circuit-breaker cabinets, live-front switches, and live-front transformers. Results show what input assumptions are most applicable for each type of equipment (including vertical and horizontal electrodes). For some equipment, particularly with horizontal electrodes, the 1584-2018 predictions underpredicted measurements of incident energy, so multiplier factors may be needed.The dataset includes measurements from test results and corresponding predictions from IEEE 1584-2018.

本文摘要如下：IEEE 1584-2018 对预测电弧闪事故能量所涉及的行业模型进行了重大更新。这些模型涵盖了不同的箱体尺寸、电压和电极几何形状。模型预测结果与中压设备的测试数据进行比较。设备类型包括断路器柜、前门开关和前门变压器。研究结果显示，针对每种类型的设备（包括垂直和水平电极），最适宜的输入假设是什么。对于某些设备，尤其是水平电极的设备，IEEE 1584-2018 的预测结果低估了事故能量的测量值，因此可能需要引入乘数因子。该数据集包含了来自测试结果的测量值以及相应地基于 IEEE 1584-2018 的预测结果。
