We offer online tools for fault current and arc flash hazard analyzes. As we are aware, none of the competition offers similar services online. Advantages:
- no need for software installation, no risk associated with virus threat
- system can be accessed, operated, shared from anywhere, anytime, any platform connected to Internet and anybody with granted access
- access to most recent services and updates
- routine data backup
ArcAd tool performs more than otherwise tedious calculations. We have implemented a parameter of tolerances to our service, which has an effect on final results within the analysis. Many other procedures do not take into account room for error, which can distort final values. If we were in a perfect world we would try to eliminate tolerances so that values can be precise without any assumptions. By including room for error we consider all tolerances both plus and minus. Another factor to consider is reducing or extending values to their most significant digit. This allows answers to be more accurate which reveals the hazard levels to be more precise [ more... ]. In other words, the calculator validation procedure, input data analysis and algorithm for capacity calculations ensure that the results are not more precise than is justified by input data accuracy
Typical commercial software have more interfaces and graphic content, which make them more appealing and expensive. ArcAd's on-line tool is user friendly and is offered at a reasonable price. It also comes accompanied with calculation examples showing the procedure in action.
We strongly believe that if resulting fault current margin error can't be quantified, then it's not engineering, but only a guess. As far as we are aware, none of available competing products performs proper error analysis. It wouldn't be a problem if most accurate system equipment data were available. Experience shows that by far most real world studies are built upon approximate and therefore more or less accurate input data. The concept of precision is very important indeed and can impact results in surprising ways.
