Arc Flash StudyArc flash studies are also known as incident energy analyses (or assessment, evaluation, calculation, testing, etc.). An electrical arc flash is a recognized hazard. Your employees must know how to work around this hazard. We calculate the size of the arc flash at each piece of electrical equipment, then label your equipment to indicate the hazard.

TrainingIf your employees or contractors work on electrical equipment they must be trained (OSHA requirement). This includes seemingly simple tasks of testing, troubleshooting & voltage measuring. Even employees performing tasks near electrical equipment could be at risk for arc flash or shock related injuries.

Arc Flash Case Studies
Arc Flash SizeWhat causes an arc flash to be big or small? We calculate arc flash "size" by following the equations described in IEEE 1584 2018. These equations are based on real life testing and measuring of arc flashes. Below is a simple explanation of what can cause the arc...

How reducing clearing time reduces arc flash hazardsWhat is clearing time? Ok, you’ve completed your arc flash study and now all your electrical equipment is affixed with arc flash hazard warning labels. You may notice that the incident energy values are different from one piece of equipment to the next. How can...
