Read the ArticleWhat is an Arc Flash Study?
An arc flash study is the evaluation of a workplace facility by an electrical safety expert to determine hazards and risks in relation to electrical systems.
Read the ArticleArc Flash Study – When & Why You Need One
An arc flash study evaluates an electrical system to calculate incident energy, establish arc flash boundaries, identify appropriate PPE, and produce equipment labels that support safer energized work.
Read the PostArc Flash Incident Energy Calculations Explained
Arc flash incident energy is the thermal energy a worker would absorb during an electrical arcing fault at a specific working distance, expressed in calories per square centimeter (cal/cm²). Engineers calculate this value to determine PPE, boundaries, and unacceptable risk.
Read the PostShock Hazard Analysis: What It Is & How It Works
A shock hazard analysis, formally called an electric shock risk assessment in NFPA 70E Article 130.4, determines whether a worker faces electric shock risk during a task and what protective measures are needed.
Read the PostWhy an Arc Flash Study is Necessary for Your Facility
An Arc Flash Assessment / Analysis is a study of the facilities power system to determine the incident energy available at specific electrical devices that employees would be exposed to while “interacting with” the electrical equipment at the facility.
