Power System Protection Coordinator
Coordinate protective devices and generate arc flash studies for power systems
What You Can Do
Analyze your power system topology, coordinate protective devices for optimal selectivity and speed, and generate comprehensive arc flash hazard analyses compliant with IEEE 1584. You get fault current calculations, device coordination plots, and hazard risk assessments that guide equipment upgrades and safety training.
Features
Coordinate fuses, relays, and breakers across your power system to ensure proper selectivity and minimize outage scope. Generates coordination tables and time-current curves.
Calculate incident energy and arc flash boundaries using IEEE 1584 methodologies. Produce hazard labels and PPE requirements for each equipment location.
Compute bolted fault currents, arcing fault currents, and protective device clearing times. Includes subtransient, transient, and steady-state contributions.
Define protection schemes for transformers, motors, feeders, and busbars. Verify coordination between upstream and downstream devices.
Parse and interpret single-line diagrams to build system models. Extract impedance data, transformer ratios, and equipment ratings.
Produce time-current plots showing device clearing times, selectivity zones, and coordination margins. Identify any coordination violations.
Systematic verification against IEEE 1584, IEEE C37 standards, and NFPA 70E. Confirms all calculations and device settings are defensible.
