An Arc Flash Analysis is designed to provide your organization with the information you need to understand the dangers of arc flash and what you can do to improve electrical workplace safety. Our trained experts are familiar with arc flash incidents, recommendations for mitigating risk and current guidelines to help train your employees and ensure your facilities meet current standards.
According to the requirements outlined in NFPA 70E, employees working on or around energized electrical equipment are required to understand PPE "arc flash exposure levels" to determine the level of protection required.
Arc Flash incident energy is related to:
- The amount of fault current that could flow at a particular point in the electrical system.
- The time required for the nearest upstream overcurrent protective device to operate and stop the current flow.

The analysis is performed by our highly experienced team of professional engineers.
An arc flash analysis includes:
- PPE category recommendations presented in a clear, tabular format (Based on IEEE Standard 1584, Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations).
- Written report of findings and recommendations for reducing arc flash hazards.
