Our expert engineering staff can provide complete turnkey arc flash hazard analysis, or support your team through any part of the process. Using Power analytics software, we can provide a variety of services to meet your arc flash needs:

  • Show the step-by-step process to compliance
  • Evaluate the needs of your facilities for arc flash hazard analysis
  • Provide implementation support
  • Review software needs, application training requirements
  • Define the amount of engineering services required for your facilities’ compliance
  • Evaluate various electrical system configurations and operating modes
  • Determine arc flash protection boundaries
  • Develop proper PPE requirements, work procedures, warning labels, and floor stripes
  • Print high quality, weather-resistant vinyl warning labels

Our staff engineers can visit the site, gather information, perform the analysis, and if desired, train plant engineers and electricians to help ensure ongoing compliance.

Our system study report includes the results of the software analysis, recommendations, and a prioritized action plan. This report is provided to help ensure proper electrical equipment ratings and settings, PPE selection and electrical service reliability.

Step-1 Data Collection And System Modeling

Firstly need to collect the data to model the system in more detail.

Step-2 System Operating Modes 
For plants with simple radial service from the utility, only one mode of operation typically exists –normal.       

However, for larger plants, there may be multiple modes of operation.   

Step-3 Working Distance and Threshold Boundaries 
Before running the actual analysis portion of the study, the user should determine the parameters on which the study will be based. 

Step-4 Protective Device Coordination Study 
After the system model is built, and the operating modes are determined, the following procedures are used to determine arcing fault incident energies. 

Step-5 Arc Flash Calculations Using software
In the previous steps, we have provided the basis for setting up the system model for proper arc-flash calculations.    In this section we will get the results by performing the actual arc-flash calculations.The following labels can be printed on plastic stock through most laser printers, or via commercially available label printers.
