Ia = 10
log (Ia)
Log (Ia)= 0.662 Log(Ibf) + 0.0966V + 0.000526G + 0.5588V (log (Ibf))- .00304G (log (Ibf)) + K

log Ea
Ea = 10
= Incident Energy
log Ea
= Incident Energy
Where: Log Ea= K1 + K2 + [1.081 x (log Ia)] + [(0.0011)*G]
Ea = 10
(Result is normalized for clearance time of .2s and distance of 610 mm (24 inches))
Ia = 24.06 kA
G = 32 mm
= 1.0811 x log(24.06)
= 0.0011 x 32
sum of components
10 raised to the Log Ea
to get cal per cm squared
