Post subject:  Inclusion of auto transformers in arc flash analysis

I am modelling a small 415V network for an arc flash study. Three motors, 1 x 45kW and 2 x 90kW are started via an auto-transformer starter.

Will the auto-transformer contribute anything to the arc flash study, or can I look at a worse case scenario, and consider the motors starting DOL?

If the auto-transformer needs to be included in the study - what characteristics do I need to include?

Shouldn,'t add anything if its out of the circuit during normal operating conditions.
