Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of an Arc Flash Study depends on a variety of factors, including type of facility (i.e., manufacturing, hospital, warehouse, etc.), size of the facility, amount of electrical equipment, electrical services into the facility, availability of data, location, age of the equipment, and more.
Companies can help reduce the cost of an arc flash study. Those facilities that have the following in place will have the most efficient, cost-effective study:
- A good one-line diagram
- Their own electricians available to assist in gathering data
- Updated equipment
- Maintenance records for the equipment
This varies according to several factors such as: the size of your facility, the amount of equipment that needs labeling and how quickly you are able to provide us with information about your work location.
The amount an arc flash study can cost is going to vary per facility. Square footage and equipment that needs labeling are major factors that go into giving an accurate price.
Any time you get a new piece of equipment or after 5 years.
An arc flash hazard analysis is just another name for an arc flash study. They are interchangeable with one another.
