Software update

Arcad, Inc. has released the second edition of its Arc Flash Analytic software program, AFA v4.1.2, for arc flash, shock hazard analysis and labelling. The new second edition is an enhanced version of AFA v4.1 software. AFA v4.1.2 reflects changes to NFPA70 labeling guidelines requiring “flash protection boundary” to now be stated “arc flash boundary.” The new software edition introduces adjustable incident energy at arc flash boundary value. The value was preset to industry standard 1.2 cal/cm^2 (5 J/cm^2 ) bare skin exposure to second degree burn in previous software versions. The new edition allows the user to enter different incident energy levels and to determine arc flash boundary at that incident energy. Existing AFA v4.1 registered users can upgrade to AFA v4.1.2 for free. Discounts are being offered for customers using other older versions of the software, the company said.
