Comprehensive Arc Flash Analysis
| A hazard assessment is a big part of NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Compliance project. The most thorough assessment method is a comprehensive arc flash study using the IEEE 1584 guidelines. We sincerely believe this analysis should only be performed by an electrical engineer with a power background that understands the Arc Flash & Arc Blast problem and is using high quality software with a large database of breaker/fuse clearing times and other data. |  |

Trent Peyton has been involved with many arc flash studies for a myriad of clients. His group thoroughly understands not only the problems associated with the study results, but also is well versed in the practical application of those results. By utilizing the comprehensive study method, the client can often reduce the hazards to workers and reduce the amount of PPE required to safely work on equipment downstream. A detailed Arc Flash Analysis involves several steps. 1.) In order to provide a quote, we will need some basic information on your facility. This should be submitted on our Site Survey Form( 2.) Once we have your survey information we will provide a quote based on the information you provide, based on the information you proved. 3.) If you accept our quote we will conduct a field inspection to determine the details of your system including breakers, wire size, and distribution system. |

4.) This information will be analyzed and input into specialized software. From this we will be able to produce an accurate detailed one-line diagram that will indicate the incident energy, flash protection boundary, PPE requirements, etc. 5.) The next step in the process is to return to your site and install the appropriate signs on all equipment. A short training session can be conducted at this time to help workers understand what we have done. You will have completed a major part of your NFPA 70E and OSHA compliance requirements for electrical safety. |
