ArcPro™ 4 is an easy-to-use software package for
the calculation of radiated and convected thermal energy from electric arcs. A
state-of-the-art program, ArcPro™ includes a physics based model of
electric arcs. The software models high power arcing by taking into account
such complex variables as gas properties, arc electrode materials, thermal
radiation and convective energy dissipation. ArcPro™ considers the arc
current, arc duration, arc gap, worker's distance from the arc, and a number of
other factors required in accurate assessment of arc exposure.
ArcPro™'s approach particularly excels in higher
voltage ranges (>10kV) which is of significant concern to you. We now also
address different electrode orientations. ArcPro™ computations have been
verified by live arc testing in Kinectrics’ High Current Laboratory.
Kinectrics’ ArcPro™ has become the industry’s most
widely-respected application for computing arc hazards and selecting protective
clothing for single phase arc situations, particularly for medium voltage and
high voltage Transmission and Distribution applications that other methods do
not address. Originally developed in 1996, Kinectrics is celebrating over 25
years of ArcPro™ servicing the arc hazard community and currently enjoys
a worldwide user base.

· Easily define arc hazards and select appropriate
clothing
· Comply with safety mandates
· Reduce safety clothing costs and ensure workers
remain protected
ArcPro™ 4 offers key technical features that
accurately analyze and predict the degree of hazard associated with electrical
arcs, including the calculation of:
- Total heat and heat flux reaching clothing
- Amount of thermal energy radiated by the arc
- Heat release through convective effects
- Spatial heat contours
- Arc parameters, including voltage, current and diameter
Most of the calculations results are provided in numeric and
graphic forms on the screen and can be sent to a printer. Batch calculations
allow for export of derived values.
