Overview
ArcPro™ 4 is an easy-to-use arc flash analysis software package for the calculation of radiated and convected thermal energy from electric arcs. It enables you to select protective clothing to meet workplace regulations for safety apparel while complying with the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and NFPA 70E.
It is the only software listed by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the calculation of incident heat energy from an electric arc and will support multiple languages. In addition, it excels in higher voltage ranges (>15 kV) and different electrode orientations which are of significance when it comes to safe plant operations and worker safety.
