Arc Hazard Assessment

Real World Insights and Hands-on Testing Experience

For systems designers, and facility and maintenance engineers, no responsibility is more critical than protecting personnel from injury or death in the workplace. Arc flash is one of the most potentially hazardous workplace risks. We have conducted thousands of AC and DC arc flash tests to uncover electrical hazards and develop strategies to ensure a safe electrical workplace. We are called upon as the trusted experts to test most PPE fabrics used in North America and around the world.

Pioneers Who have Become Industry Leaders

We have conducted hundreds of in-person studies across North America and have developed an unmatched understanding of the benefits and limitations of the different testing techniques.

Our systematic, tailor-made approach, performed by our experienced risk engineers, identifies electrical hazards, determines their likelihood and severity, and identifies the safety measures that should be put in place. We highlight hidden risks in your electrical systems, provide recommendations for engineered barriers, and determine proper personal protective equipment and boundaries.

One-Stop Mitigation Measures and Solutions

Once we have identified the risks, we get to work developing effective mitigation measures and engineered solutions that will keep your workplace and workers safe. We offer protection schemes and coordination improvements, flash detection systems, relay settings evaluations, upstream provider collaboration, single line diagram revision services, and much more, in order to ensure you have a sustainable electrical safety program and environment.

Training from the Experts

Many of our arc flash engineering experts help drive the highest practical levels of standards through their contribution to standards committees including IEEE1584. Our advocacy for safety through the use of real-world data and field experience means that if you are being trained by us you are learning from the best with the most up-to-date industry knowledge.

Our training programs are fully compliant and are based on the latest industry standards and regulations. We focus our courses on building your team's workplace electrical safety knowledge and its ability to identify the electrical hazards of arc flash.

ArcPro the Industry Standard Software

ArcPro is the industry standard when it comes to software for arc incident energy calculations in DC and high voltage AC (up to 120kV). Our software helps you select protective clothing that meets workplace regulations for safety apparel while complying with the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and NFPA 70E. ArcPro™ is the only software listed by the US OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) for the calculation of incident heat energy from an electric arc.

Our state-of-the-art ArcPro program includes a physics-based model of electric arcs combined with lab test results so that it gives you the most accurate values. The software models high-power arcing by considering such complex variables as gas properties, arc electrode materials, thermal radiation, and convective energy dissipation.
