Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: Medium

Each row of Table 130.7(C)(15)(a) of NFPA 70E-2027 applies only within the clearing time, fault current and working distance it states, so a shorter clearing time obtained from an arc energy reduction method is credited through an incident energy analysis under clause 130.5(G) rather than through a change of category row.
