System Analysis:

A detailed assessment of your electrical infrastructure.

Incident Energy Calculations:

Determining the energy released during an arc flash event.

Labeling Requirements:

Creating and applying arc flash hazard labels to equipment.

Mitigation Strategies:

Recommendations to reduce risks and improve system safety.

Why Is an Arc Flash Study Important?

Compliance with Safety Standards:

Meet OSHA, NFPA 70E, and IEEE 1584 requirements.

Workplace Safety:

Protect employees from life-threatening injuries.

Operational Continuity:

Minimize downtime caused by electrical incidents.

Liability Reduction:

Demonstrate your commitment to safety and regulatory compliance.
