Alan Privette of Duke Power has created an arc flash heat flux calculator that is available free. It calculates the heat flux on a surface resulting from an arc flash with a specified voltage, available current and arc gap. The calculator can be useful when determining arc flash boundaries.

This software has been available free for a while. However, a new download site provides an easier to install version of this software. To download go to:

http://www.labelprinters.org/duke-power-heat-flux-calculator.html

The above download provides an automated install system that copies the files to your hard drive, and sets up icons on your desktop and in your Start menu. This makes the software easy and convenient to use. In addition, this version of the software comes with updated documentation that provides more details on how to use the software, in particular what to do if you make a typo or enter wrong information.
