Dear Mr. Kurt Johnson,
Thank you for reviewing Krech Ojard as a choice to perform the surveys, provide analysis, and install arc flash labeling for building electrical equipment in UW-Madison facilities.
Krech Ojard & Associates has done many arc flash hazard analysis studies in the state of Wisconsin, including Midwest Energy in Superior, Marquip in Phillips, and TransCanada in Iron River. All of our studies are overseen by our in-house, state of Wisconsin registered, professional engineers.
Over time, we have gained a reputation for high quality work and thorough presentation of that work. This ability comes from our insistence upon having our trained staff collect the data on-site, researching the differing types of electrical fusing & breakers, understanding your power system characteristics, and knowing the latest NFPA 70E and NEC standards.
Our scope of experience includes:• Performing Coordination, Load Flow, and/Short Circuit Analysis Studies. • Performing Arc Flash Analysis Studies for large & small companies using both SKM
Power*Tools® & EasyPower® software. • Working with clients to mitigate arc flash issues. • Conducting an arc flash safety seminar for Midwest Energy in Superior, Wisconsin. • Managing electrical construction activities.• Working with Microsoft project and Primavera for managing projects, budgets,
purchasing materials, & scheduling people.
Attached are the resumes of the two (2) professional electrical engineers that would be responsible for this project, along with site specific projects, our arc flash process, excerpts from a sample arc flash report, and typical one-line diagrams.

Facility installations need to comply with regulatory standards including; 29CFR-OSHA, NFPA 70, and NFPA 70E. Non-compliance could result in substantial fines, loss of reputation, equipment damage, personal injury, and death. NFPA 70E compliance starts with the completion of a comprehensive arc flash study.
Krech Ojard (KO) performs arc flash studies of varying size and complexity, from relatively simple single 480V MCC installations, to large complex distribution systems.
Arc flash Issues include insufficient working spaces, inadequate withstand ratings of existing equipment, inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE), lack of hazard warning labels on electrical equipment, lack of documented safety programs, and outdated training for employees.
KO arc flash studies identify arc flash issues through on-site data collection, power system modeling, and case study calculations. Findings are detailed, issues are prioritized, and arc flash remediation recommendations are presented in the KO arc flash study report.
Keep your personnel safe from Arc Flash. Keep your electrical systems functioning to protect your profits and assets, and decrease your concerns over expenses incurred from damaged equipment and regulatory agency actions.
ARC FLASH STUDY & RECOMMENDATION FOR

& ARC FLASH STUDY Cloquet, Minnesota
Clients United States Gypsum
Completed2011
United States Gypsum (USG) required that an arc flash hazard analysis be performed at their USG Interiors, Inc. facility in Cloquet, Minnesota. The arc flash hazard analysis was to be performed from the main service entrance down to the Motor Control Center (MCC) level to establish the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required for personnel working on the plant’s electrical system. Krech Ojard & Associates’ (KOA) Electrical Group provided on-site data collection during a weekend shutdown period. Data was gathered to retrieve information on the electrical power system design in preparation for the power system studies needed for the arc flash hazard analysis. Substation switchgear data and electrical protective device ratings and settings were collected along with conductor sizes and lengths down to the MCC and 480V panel level.
The data collected on-site was used to model the USG facility’s electrical power system with SKM Power Tools® software. A short circuit current study and device rating evaluation were performed. The final report listed over-dutied equipment. An arc flash study was performed using IEEE 1584 methods, and PPE requirements were determined based on NFPA 70E categories. Arc flash remediation recommendations were presented in the final report for those areas requiring PPE Category 3 or higher. Coordination studies were performed for electrical protective devices at each of the high PPE category areas.
The short circuit current study results included, arc flash study results, coordination study results (including Time vs. Current Curve plots), remediation recommendations, and plant one-line diagram drawings. The arc flash report was presented to USG for their review and comments prior to printing of arc flash hazard warning labels.

C. Safe working distances shall be based upon the calculated arc flash boundary considering an incident energy of 1.2 cal/cm2.
D. When appropriate, the short circuit calculations and the clearing times of the phase overcurrent devices will be retrieved from the short-circuit model.
E. The short-circuit calculations and the corresponding incident energy calculations for multiple system scenarios must be compared and the greatest incident energy must be uniquely reported for each equipment location. Calculations must be performed to represent the maximum and minimum contributions of fault current magnitude for all normal and emergency operating conditions. The minimum calculation will assume that the utility contribution is at a minimum and will assume a minimum motor contribution (all motors
KRECH OJARD & ASSOCIATES | Engineers + Architects 13
ARC FLASH STUDY PROCESS (Short-Circuit/Coordination/Arc
Flash Hazard Analysis)
off). Conversely, the maximum calculation will assume a maximum contribution from the utility and will assume the maximum amount of motors to be operating. Calculations shall take into consideration the parallel operation of synchronous generators with the electric utility, where applicable.
F. The incident energy calculations must consider the accumulation of energy over time when performing arc flash calculations on buses with multiple sources. Iterative calculations must take into account the changing current contributions, as the sources are interrupted or decremented with time. Fault contribution from motors and generators should be decremented as follows:
1. Fault contribution from induction motors should not be considered beyond 3-5 cycles. 2. Fault contribution from synchronous motors and generators should be decayed
to match the actual decrement of each as closely as possible (e.g. contributions from permanent magnet generators will typically decay from 10 per unit to 3 per unit after 10 cycles).
G. For each equipment location with a separately enclosed main device (where there is adequate separation between the line side terminals of the main protective device and the work location), calculations for incident energy and flash protection boundary shall include both the line and load side of the main breaker.
H. When performing incident energy calculations on the line side of a main breaker (as required per above), the line side and load side contributions must be included in the fault calculation.
I. Mis-coordination should be checked amongst all devices within the branch containing the immediate protective device upstream of the calculation location and the calculation should utilize the fastest device to compute the incident energy for the corresponding location.
J. Arc Flash calculations shall be based on actual overcurrent protective device clearing time. Maximum clearing time will be capped at 2 seconds based on IEEE 1584-2002 section B.1.2. Where it is not physically possible to move outside of the flash protection boundary in less than 2 seconds during an arc flash event, a maximum clearing time based on the specific location shall be utilized.

This is a sample of a detailed arc report based on studies performed by Krech Ojard & Associates in 2010 and 2011.
Scope of Work Krech Ojard & Associates was contracted to collect data in order to create a model of an electrical system and then use the model created to perform a short circuit current and arc flash hazard analysis. The ultimate objective was to specify and provide labels that warn workers of the electrical arc flash hazard at various locations at the station. Krech Ojard & Associates was also contracted to provide recommendations for reducing higher risk areas to arc flash hazard/risk Category 2 or lower.
Method of Analysis The goal of an arc flash calculation is to determine how much electrical energy, called incident energy, can be supplied to a fault at a certain location in an electrical system during a finite amount of time. Once incident energy is determined a hazard/risk category can be assigned. The NFPA 70E-2009 table 130.7(C) (11) defines five risk categories based on the calculated incident energy at a given working distance. For each hazard/risk category Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is described that is designed to limit heat transfer to a level which would limit the wearer to second degree burns if exposed to the maximum incident energy listed for the category. The arc flash evaluation assigns hazard/risk categories to specific locations in the electrical system.
Arc flash is a calculation expressed in energy terms (cal/cm2 or Joules/cm2). The two most recognized arc flash calculation methods are the NFPA calculation and the IEEE 1584 calculation. The IEEE 1584 is considered the most accurate because it uses formulas that have been developed through measurement of energies recorded during actual IEEE arc flash tests. The IEEE 1584 calculation was used in this arc flash evaluation.
The available short circuit current and the protection device (circuit breaker, fuse, etc.) fault clearing times determine the level of incident energy that can be supplied to a fault. The available short circuit current was determined by modeling the electrical system in a software package. The software package used for this evaluation was SKM Power*Tools Version 6.5. The model was built using the provided one-line diagrams and any changes noted during a site data collection visit made on September 10, 2010. Conductor properties, cable lengths, and utility

service transformer size needed for the model were taken from additional drawings. The utility available fault current numbers provided were as follows:
3 Phase: 2694A @13.2kV, X/R = 2.51 Single Line to Ground: 1763A
Protection device selections and settings determine fault clearing times, and those selections and settings are determined through coordination studies. For this arc flash hazard analysis it was assumed that a coordination study had already been performed. Actual protection device manufacturer, model number and settings obtained from data collected from the site on September 10, 2010 were used in the analysis.
Short circuit current calculations and arc flash hazard evaluations were performed for automatic transfer switch in both the Normal and Emergency positions. The worst-case arc flash hazard/risk category for all electrical system locations resulted when the automatic transfer switch was in the Normal position. The arc flash hazard analysis was performed down to the 208VAC, three phase level. Industry practice is to not perform arc flash analysis for single phase systems and voltages less than 208V if served from a transformer smaller than 125KVA. This practice complies with NFPA 130.3 requirements. The arcing fault current will not be sustainable at the lower voltages and smaller available fault currents.

Findings All electrical equipment looked at for the site data collection was in very good condition. Insulated rubber mats were installed in front of all MCC sections. The short circuit current device evaluation performed for this study indicated that all modeled devices were rated for the fault current available at their location in the electrical system. These results are shown in the “Short Circuit Current Rating Evaluation” tab of this report. The results of the arc flash hazard analysis are shown in the “Arc Flash Study Results” tab of this report. Since electrical maintenance is common at the MCC and panelboard level of electrical systems, keeping these areas to arc flash hazard/risk Category 2 or lower is recommended. The MCC and panelboard areas that have arc flash hazard/risk category higher than Category 2 are as follows:
1. Lighting panel LP-5, Category 3 Areas that have arc flash hazard/risk category that are higher than Category 2 but may not be considered common electrical maintenance areas are listed below. It is recommended that the equipment be de-energized prior to performing electrical work at that location.
1. Standby generator SPU-1 terminals, Category 4 2. Standby generator breaker 52-G, Category 4 3. Standby generator breaker bypass 52-GB, Category 4 4. Utility service transformer terminals, Category Dangerous 5. Utility service breaker 52-U, Category Dangerous 6. Utility service breaker bypass 52-UB, Category Dangerous 7. Automatic transfer switch ATS-001, Category 3 8. Main feeder breaker 52-1, Category 3 9. Main feeder breaker 52-2, Category 3 10. Main feeder breaker 52-3, Category 3 11. Main feeder breaker 52-4, Category 3 12. Main feeder breaker 52-5, Category 3

Recommendations It is recommended that steps be taken to lower lighting panel LP-5 to arc flash hazard/risk Category 2 or lower. Several iterations to the electrical design were modeled and the calculations indicate LP-5 can be lowered to hazard/risk Category 0 if the following changes are made.
1. Remove the conductors and conduit between the secondary of transformer LT-5 and LP-5.
2. Install a separately-mounted main breaker and enclosure for LP-5 to be located at least 4
feet away from LP-5. The circuit breaker is to be Square D, Type JD, 150A, with instantaneous set at 5.
3. Install new conductors and conduit between the secondary of transformer LT-5 and the
new main breaker. The cable length from the transformer to the new main breaker must be between 10 and 40 feet to maintain a hazard/risk Category 0. This is for 90oC conductors routed in metal conduit. The circuit consists of one #1/0 AWG conductor per phase, one #1/0 AWG neutral conductor and one #6 AWG ground conductor.
4. Install new conductors and conduit between the new main breaker and LP-5. The cable
length from the new main breaker to LP-5 must be between 10 and 250 feet to maintain a hazard/risk Category 0. This is for 90oC conductors routed in metal conduit. The circuit consists of one #1/0 AWG conductor per phase, one #1/0 AWG neutral conductor and one #6 AWG ground conductor.
