What is an Arc Flash Study? An Arc Flash Study (also known as an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis) evaluates the potential electrical hazards in your facility. By measuring fault currents and incident energy levels, we identify the personal protective equipment (PPE) your team needs and develop strategies to minimize the risk of dangerous electrical arc events.
“At its core, an arc flash analysis helps ensure that no one works on equipment with potentially unknown, dangerous energy levels. When those levels exceed expectations, severe injuries or even death can occur. A quick online search of arc flash incidents reveals just how catastrophic these events can be—underscoring the importance of proper analysis and protective measures.”
