IEEE std 1584-2002 (Guide for Performing Arc-flash hazard Calculations) provides a Guide for calculating incident energy for applications under 1kv. The NESC does not indicate how a utility is required to perform an arc-flash hazard analysis. There are many variables associated with determining available fault current, clearing time and worker distance.

TO CALCULATE INCIDENT ENERGY FOR
APPLICATIONS UNDER 1kV Disclaimer: The NESC does not indicate how a utility is required to perform an arc-flash hazard analysis other than considering available fault current, clearing time, and worker distance. There are many variables associated with determining available fault current, clearing time and worker distance, and yet more variables which are considered in determining how to use the requirements of the NESC. Because MLGW’s immediate need to address compliance with the requirements of the NESC, I offer the following information, but do not claim significant expertise in this area. Constants and definitions for voltage < 1000 Volts
