Verified 2026-10-24 Confidence: High

Clause 6.8 of IEEE 1584-2018 computes the total arcing current at a location from the total bolted fault current and assigns each upstream protective device its proportional share of that arcing current, which is the current at which that device's clearing time is read from its time-current curve.
