Arc Flash Study - AC

We will calculate the short circuit fault current levels and protective device settings feeding switchboards, panelboards, industrial control panels, and motor control centers. We will then use the IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E Standards to perform this incident energy analysis. We will calculate the following:

  • Flash hazard boundary

  • Amount of incident energy (cal/cm2)

  • Shock hazard

  • Limited approach

  • Restricted approach

  • Type and Level of Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) needed

An Arc Flash Study will...

  • Increase the awareness of flash hazards

  • Increase facility reliability, equipment protection, and personnel safety

  • Comply with NEC Article 110.16, NFPA 70E, and OSHA requirements
