Arc Flash Incident Energy Calculator

Calculate arc flash incident energy in cal/cm² per IEEE 1584-2018. Boundary distances, PPE category selection. Working distance 18 in. default. Flash protection boundary for 1.2 cal/cm² onset of second-degree burn.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.
