Arc Flash Study Requirements
Electrical injuries are a serious workplace safety concern, especially around energized equipment and electrical distribution systems.
NFPA 70E provides guidance for identifying arc flash hazards, evaluating risk, and applying appropriate safety practices.
Employers are responsible for assessing arc flash hazards and understanding potential incident energy exposure. FGC Engineers can assist with arc flash study support and related project documentation.
Arc Flash Studies & Power System Analysis
FGC Engineers provides arc flash study and power system analysis support based on applicable NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 guidance.
Our Studies Include:
- Short-circuit analysis
- Protective device coordination
- Arc flash hazard analysis
- Incident energy calculations
- Equipment labeling
- PPE requirements and approach boundaries
- Updated single-line diagrams
- Annual label update support
Why It Matters:
A properly completed arc flash study helps reduce injury risk, supports regulatory and safety requirements, and gives personnel the information needed to work around electrical equipment more safely.
Prevent Arc Flash Hazards
Arc flash hazards can create serious safety and operational risks. FGC Engineers can assist with arc flash study support and energy management planning to help facilities better understand and address electrical hazards.
Regular arc flash reviews help support workplace safety practices and keep electrical system information current.
