1 SECTION SHORT CIRCUIT, COMPONENT PROTECTION, FLASH HAZARD AND SELECTIVE COORDINATION STUDY PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 SUMMARY A. Section Includes: 1. Provide a short-circuit, component protection, flash hazard analysis, and selective coordination study for the electrical distribution system from all power sources (normal and emergency) down to the branch circuit overcurrent protective device and equipment. The short circuit, selective coordination and flash hazard study shall be performed by the manufacturer supplying the equipment. Series rated systems are not approved. 2. The Engineer has conducted a preliminary study based on Cutler-Hammer equipment. Prior to submission of any shop drawings, the study specified herein shall be submitted. Shop drawings will not be reviewed or approved without this study. 1.2 PURPOSE A. The study shall calculate the available short-circuit current at each point in the electrical distribution system. The overcurrent protective devices shall have an interrupting rating equal to or greater than the available short-circuit current at the point of application. B. The study shall examine proper protection of electrical system components and utilization equipment such that the equipment has a sufficient short-circuit current rating. If a specific type of overcurrent protective device is required for proper protection of equipment, it shall be noted in the report and reflected in the design of the system. C. The study shall include a flash hazard analysis for electrical distribution equipment where required per codes and standards. The analysis shall determine the flash protection boundary, incident energy, and required level of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers at the electrical distribution equipment. The flash protection boundary and incident energy shall be determined based upon a working distance of 18 inches. The electrical distribution equipment shall be field marked with this information in accordance with codes and standards. D. The overcurrent protective devices shall be analyzed for selective coordination. This analysis shall identify any potential selective coordination problems up the available short-circuit current. Any areas where the overcurrent protective devices are not selectively coordinated shall be explicitly noted and recommendations shall be made to achieve selective coordination if desired. E. The studies shall be submitted to the Design Engineer prior to receiving final approval of the distribution equipment shop drawings and/or prior to release of equipment for manufacturing. If formal completion of the studies may cause delay in equipment manufacturing, approval from the Engineer may be obtained for a preliminary submittal of sufficient study data to ensure that the selection of device ratings and characteristics will be satisfactory. F. The studies shall include all portions of the electrical distribution system from the normal power source or sources down to and including the smallest adjustable trip circuit breaker in the distribution system. Normal system connections and those which result in maximum fault conditions shall be adequately covered in the study. G. The firm should be currently involved in high and low-voltage power system evaluation. The study shall be performed, stamped and signed by a registered professional engineer. Credentials of the individual performing the study and background of the firm shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval prior to start of the work. A minimum of five (5) Proj.

Provide a ground fault current study for the same system areas, including the associated zero sequence impedance data. Include in tabulations fault impedance, X to R ratios, asymmetry factors, motor fault contribution, short circuit kva, and symmetrical and asymmetrical fault currents. C. In the protective device coordination study, provide time-current curves graphically indicating the coordination proposed for the system, centered on conventional, full-size, log-log forms. Include with each curve sheet a complete title and one-line diagram with legend identifying the specific portion of the system covered by that particular curve sheet.
