What is NEC 240.87: Balancing Arc Flash Safety about?

The document discusses the conflict between selective coordination and arc flash protection in electrical systems. Selective coordination aims to minimize outages by using time delays in circuit breakers, but this increases arc flash duration and energy. Three methods introduced in NEC 240.87 help resolve this: 1) Zone-selective interlocking allows fast tripping of local faults while maintaining coordination. 2) Differential relaying trips fast for internal faults. 3) Energy-reducing switches enable fast tr
