3) Perform analysis using metric (mm, Joules, kg ) or imperial units.
4) Generate arc flash warning labels in electronic JPG, BMP and PDF formats.
5) Customize labels by selecting and adding information displayed on them.
6) Create customized color or black-and-white warning labels in English, French and Spanish.

Calculator-style interface makes complex calculations easy to understand. Detailed procedure for IEEE 1584 based arc flash calculations has been included in the calculator. An effective arc flash safety program must be designed on a reliable foundation. Arc flash studies must be performed by qualified persons using a quality analysis tool which provide accurate results that you can trust and rely on.
