Arc Flash Study & Analysis

Professional arc flash study and analysis that identifies hazard levels across your electrical system and specifies exactly what's needed to keep people safe around it.

Overview

Arc flash risks arise from high fault currents, improper protection coordination, and inadequate system design. Left unassessed, they put both personnel and equipment at serious risk during normal operation, maintenance, or fault conditions.

We've developed strong technical capacity in evaluating electrical power systems (industrial, commercial, and residential) to identify arc flash hazards and implement effective mitigation measures, calculated in accordance with IEEE 1584.

Benefits

Why this matters

Quantified risk, not guesswork

Incident energy levels and arc flash boundaries calculated per IEEE 1584, not estimated.

Correct PPE, specified

PPE category requirements defined precisely for each point in the system.

Panel labelling included

Electrical panels labelled with arc flash warning information as part of the study.

A path to lower risk

Concrete system improvement recommendations, not just a hazard report.

Process

How it works

01

Data collection & verification

Electrical system parameters gathered and verified on site.

02

Load flow analysis

Establishing actual system operating conditions.

03

Short circuit analysis

Determining fault levels at each point in the network.

04

Protective device coordination

Studies to confirm proper fault clearing times.

05

Arc flash hazard calculation

Incident energy levels and arc flash boundaries calculated to IEEE 1584.

FAQ

Common questions

It's an engineering analysis of your electrical system (load flow, short circuit, and protective device coordination) used to calculate arc flash hazard levels at each point and specify the PPE and controls needed to work near it safely.

They answer different questions. A safety audit checks the general integrity and compliance of an installation; an arc flash study specifically quantifies energy release risk during a fault, which a general audit doesn't calculate.

IEEE 1584, the recognised standard for arc flash hazard calculations.

Yes, labelling electrical panels with arc flash warning information is part of the deliverable.
