1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

General

The scope of this analysis includes a short circuit, overcurrent protective device coordination, and arc flash incident energy analysis for the electrical distribution system for the VA Medical Center located in Danville, IL.

This was an updated to the previous report completed in 2017, which included the equipment on the drawings found in Annex C.

This summary provides a high level review of the results found from these analyses. The results of this report are highly dependent upon the accuracy of the data used to perform the analysis. All data used in the development of this report was acquired by Qualus from onsite data collection and verification, published engineering drawings or records, test reports, equipment submittals, or other means. Should system conditions differ from those documented in this report, or should the electrical equipment within the scope of this analysis not be properly installed and maintained, the results of this analysis may be invalid. Qualus assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies in data provided by third parties. NFPA 70E requires that the results of the incident energy analysis be reviewed for accuracy whenever system changes occur or at intervals not to exceed five years. System changes that require an immediate update to the analysis can include a change in utility fault current, service changes or upgrades, the addition of local generation, protective device settings changes, or the addition, removal, or relocation of electrical equipment.

SKM was used to perform the analysis detailed in this report. The results of the analysis are based upon the latest versions of the following standards, recommended practices, and guides:

ANSI NFPA IEEE OSHA

ANSI C37 NFPA 70 (NEC) IEEE 141 OSHA 1910.333

ANSI C57 NFPA 70E IEEE 242

Job# 847964 Revision 0 Page 6 of 51

Report Overview

1.3.1 Section 1.4: Key Findings and Recommendations

Key issues found from the results of these analyses are listed and described in Section 1.4 and may consist of over-dutied equipment, mis-coordinated devices, NEC violations, high incident energy locations, and other electrical system deficiencies. Where applicable, recommendations have been made to reduce or eliminate the issue. These recommendations can be found in the tables provided in Section 1.4.

1.3.2 Section 2: Study Data and Procedures

Methods for acquiring utility data, equipment information, breaker settings, and other pertinent information for the analysis are documented in Section 2. In some instances, data may not be available due to inaccessibility for safety reasons, equipment deterioration, or operational limitations. When these circumstances arise, estimations are made based upon common industry practices and design standards including the NEC and ANSI/IEEE. Worker safety was prioritized when an estimate was made.

Job# 847964 Revision 0 Page 7 of 51

Key Findings and Recommendations

1.4.1 Short Circuit Analysis & Equipment Evaluation Results & Recommendations

Maximum short circuit currents were calculated at every location within the scope of the analysis.

These results were then compared to the withstand or interrupting rating for the equipment. Upon review, 117 locations failed the equipment evaluation. For a complete list of failed equipment and mitigation recommendations, see Section 1.5. Full system equipment evaluation tables can be found in Section 3.

Due to the system complexity, multiple switching scenarios were considered for the arc flash analysis. The short circuit equipment evaluations are based upon the switching scenario and/or utility configuration that produces the highest available fault current as found in scenario 1. For a full description of every switching scenario considered for this analysis, see Section 2.3.

1.4.2 Overcurrent Protective Device Coordination and Protection Results & Recommendations

The protective device coordination study evaluates coordination and protection of equipment in accordance with IEEE Standards 141, 242, and 3004. Proper coordination of protective devices increases safety of operations and minimizes nuisance trips and interruptions. Where coordination or protection is not achieved in accordance with these IEEE or NEC standards, commentary has been provided in Section 1.5. For a full discussion of protection and coordination, as well as Time-Current- Curves (TCCs) for the facility, can be found in Section 4.

Protective device information and settings used for this analysis can be found in Appendix A. The results of the coordination and arc flash analysis are based upon these settings. Should any protective device settings be changed from the settings documented here, the results of this analysis are invalid and personnel could be at an increased safety risk. Qualus recommends updating this report whenever settings are modified in the field.

In some instances, coordination or protection concerns were identified. Recommended settings have been provided in Section 1.5 that will reduce or eliminate the concern. If these recommendations are implemented, Qualus recommends updating this report, as settings changes could impact the results of the arc flash analysis.

1.4.3 Arc Flash Incident Energy Analysis Results & Recommendations

The arc flash incident energy analysis calculates the available incident energy, arc flash boundary, and working distance for the equipment in this report. Calculations are performed in accordance with IEEE 1584 “Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations” and NFPA 70E “Standard for Electrical Safety in The Workplace”. The complete analysis results and recommendations are presented in Section 5.

After evaluating all possible switching scenarios and utility fault currents, the following results were found:

Number of Locations > 40 cal/cm2: 8

Number of Locations > 8 cal/cm2 and < 40 cal/cm2: 101

Locations over >40 cal/cm2 are listed in Section 1.5 and recommendations for reducing the hazard have been provided. In some instances, it may not be practical to reduce the incident energy due to equipment construction. Frequently, service entrance equipment is difficult to mitigate due to the lack of ownership of the supply side protective device. For complete results, see the arc flash evaluation tables in Section 5.

Job# 847964 Revision 0 Page 8 of 51

NFPA 70E requires that this analysis be updated at periods not to exceed five years, or whenever system changes are made that could impact the results of the study. Changes that could impact the results of the study can include a change in utility fault current, service changes or upgrades, the addition of local generation, protective device settings changes, or the addition, removal, or relocation of electrical equipment.

1.4.4 NFPA 70E Compliance Results & Recommendations

Arc Flash Training - Proper training of personnel to identify, mitigate, and work safely around arc flash hazards is required by NFPA 70E. A workplace is not in compliance with NFPA 70E arc flash safety standards unless arc flash safety training has been provided to all appropriate parties.

Facility Maintenance – The arc flash calculations in this report are only valid for a system in which the equipment is properly maintained in compliance with NFPA 70E. NFPA 70E requires electrical equipment be maintained by qualified persons and documented. NEC Article 700.3(C) requires emergency equipment be tested periodically and maintained in accordance with manufacturer and instructions and industry standards.

Facility Single-line - NFPA 70E requires that single-line diagrams for an electrical system be provided, maintained in a legible condition, and kept current.

Facility Electrical Safety Plan - The information presented in this report and covered during arc flash safety training must be integrated into the site electrical safety plan. A complete site electrical safety plan, including arc flash hazard analysis, is required for compliance with OSHA workplace electrical safety standards.

1.4.5 NEC Compliance Results and Recommendations

During the course of reviewing the data used for the analysis, 42 NEC violations were identified. A complete table with descriptions of the violations, and recommendations for how to comply with the most recent version of the NEC is provided in Section 1.5. The scope of this analysis does not include a complete NEC compliance audit of the facility.
