What drives incident energy

Rank the variables that drive conceptual incident energy and explain each direction.

Predicting before you experiment is what makes the result stick. There is no penalty for being wrong here.

Change one variable at a time and record the direction and rough magnitude of the effect.

1. Set a baseline 480 V scenario and record the conceptual energy value.
2. Double clearing time and record the change.
3. Increase working distance and record the change.
4. Enable a maintenance or arc-reduction setting and record the change.

Name the mitigation you would investigate first in a facility you know, and why.
