Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Under clause 130.5(B) of NFPA 70E-2027 the operating time and condition of the overcurrent protective device are inputs to the arc flash risk assessment, so the setting and the tested performance of an arc energy reduction method bear directly on the likelihood and severity estimate for the equipment it protects.
