    The document contains calculations to determine the arc flash boundary distance (Db) at various locations in an electrical system. It provides the formula used to calculate Db as well as definitions for the variables in the formula. Sample calculations are shown for several specific locations, with the resulting Db distances given in both millimeters and inches.
