Commercial Arc Flash Study Details

Electrical System Modeling
We build a digital representation of your electrical distribution system, capturing key components like breakers, panels, transformers, and loads. This model serves as the foundation for all engineering simulations and study results.


Operating Scenario Simulations
We simulate normal and contingency conditions (e.g., alternate feeds, backup generators) to identify worst-case hazards across your facility. This ensures compliance regardless of how the system is configured during maintenance or failures.


Short Circuit Analysis
We calculate available fault currents at all relevant buses and equipment to verify that your system can withstand and interrupt fault events without equipment failure.


Equipment Duty Evaluation
We evaluate the short-circuit ratings of breakers, fuses, and panels against calculated fault levels. Underrated equipment is flagged for replacement to prevent catastrophic failure and ensure worker safety.


Protective Device Coordination
We align the timing of fuses, relays, and circuit breakers to isolate faults without unnecessary shutdowns—helping maintain uptime while improving worker safety.


Arc Flash Hazard Analysis – Standard Voltage (≤15 kV)
We calculate incident energy levels at points of interaction, apply appropriate working distance assumptions, and assign PPE categories according to NFPA 70E. Results are easy to understand and audit-ready.


Hazard Mitigation Recommendations
We provide actionable strategies to reduce arc flash risk, including equipment upgrades, breaker setting adjustments, or labeling changes—prioritized for budget and impact.


Executive Summary Report
A concise, plain-language overview of key findings, risks, and recommendations—perfect for decision-makers who need clarity without technical deep-dives.


Comprehensive Technical Report
Full documentation of your study, including simulation data, methodology, protective device settings, and arc flash results—engineered for reliability, transparency, and audit defense.


Arc Flash Hazard Labels
Custom-printed, NFPA 70E-compliant arc flash labels for installation at electrical equipment. Includes essential safety data, working distances, and incident energy.


Professional Engineer Review & Stamp
All work is reviewed and approved by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) to ensure accuracy, legal defensibility, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Industrial Arc Flash Study Details

Detailed Site Walkthrough and Data Collection
We perform an on-site assessment to gather accurate field data, identify safety-critical equipment, and document protective device settings—laying the groundwork for a precise and defensible study.


Advanced Electrical System Modeling
We build a detailed model of your facility’s electrical infrastructure, including transformers, MCCs, switchgear, and distribution systems. The model supports complex simulations across large, high-load operations.


Operating Scenario Simulations
We simulate multiple configurations (e.g., utility tie-breakers, generator transitions, bypasses) to capture how arc flash risk shifts with system operations—ensuring your study reflects real-world conditions.


Short Circuit Analysis
We calculate three-phase, single-line-to-ground, and equipment fault currents across the system to evaluate component withstand ratings and support coordination and arc flash calculations.


Equipment Duty Evaluation
We assess switchgear, panels, and protective devices against available fault currents to verify all components are adequately rated and reduce the risk of equipment rupture or fire.


Power Transformer Through-Fault Evaluation
We analyze transformer withstand capability using ANSI/IEEE C57 standards to ensure protection schemes won’t allow damage during through-fault conditions, particularly in older or oversized transformers.


Protective Device Coordination
We optimize time-current curves across the protection chain—minimizing nuisance trips while maintaining fast isolation of hazardous faults.


Protective Device Setting Evaluation
We review or develop relay and breaker settings to implement the coordination plan, ensuring practical deployment that aligns with your safety and operational goals.


Arc Flash Hazard Analysis – Standard Voltage (≤15 kV)
We determine incident energy at low and medium voltage levels using IEEE 1584 standards, identifying high-risk equipment and guiding PPE selection.


Arc Flash Hazard Analysis – High Voltage (15 kV+)
For systems above 15 kV, we apply conservative modeling and engineering judgment to assess arc energy exposure, often where limited data or standards exist—critical for substations and utility connections.


Hazard Mitigation Recommendations
We provide prioritized options to lower incident energy, reduce PPE levels, or isolate high-risk areas—helping you proactively manage risk and improve maintainability.

Common Compliance Questions

Understanding compliance requirements can be complex. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions to help clarify your concerns.

What is included in an arc flash study?

An arc flash study includes short circuit analysis, protective device coordination, equipment duty analysis, and arc flash analysis outlined in standard IEEE 1584-2018. Results are documented and new labels are printed.

Can I perform energized work if I’m wearing adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) indicated on the label?

Not without a documented work permit outlined by your organization. PPE helps reduce risk, but it doesn’t make energized work “safe.” Energized work requires justification, a job hazard analysis, and written approval—even if the gear is adequate. 

Why is a short circuit study necessary?

A short circuit study helps calculate potential fault currents, ensuring your equipment can withstand and operate safely under fault conditions.

What is the benefit of device coordination?

Proper device coordination minimizes downtime and protects equipment by ensuring that protective devices operate in the correct sequence during a fault.

How often do I need to update my arc flash study?

NFPA 70E requires updates at least every 5 years, or whenever major electrical changes occur. If you’ve done renovations, replaced equipment, or adjusted breaker settings, it’s time for a new study.

Is having arc flash labels enough for NFPA 70E or OSHA compliance?

No. Labels are just one piece of the puzzle. True compliance also requires up-to-date system documentation, PPE policies, documented work procedures, and proper employee training. Labels alone won’t protect your team or your business.

Do I need one label or multiple labels per piece of equipment?

For most equipment, a single “worst-case” label is recommended. Adding more can confuse workers and increase liability if someone chooses the lower-rated label without understanding the risk.

My equipment is already labeled. Why do I need a full system model?

Labels don’t tell the full story. A complete system model identifies fault current issues, verifies protective device coordination, and supports safe decision-making. It’s the foundation for both safety and operational planning.
