SLIDE CHART NOTES:

The purpose of this slide chart is to aid in the assessment of risk before doing any work. It is also intended to demonstrate how important it is to correctly establish the true operating
time of the protective device that you are betting your life on.
To aid in correctly determining the clearing time of the protective device, you must consider the equipment’s condition, age, maintenance history, and environment.
You should not rely on the up stream device operating fast enough to provide back up protection because the arc impedance may reduce the fault current to a value that is too low to
cause the upstream device to operate.
Do not blindly trust labels. Do a quick system assessment to attempt to validate the information on the label.
