What Is an Arc Flash Study?

An Arc Flash Hazard Analysis is a critical safety assessment of your electrical distribution system. This study evaluates the potential incident energy levels and determines the appropriate protective measures required for worker safety. Since an arc flash study is a snapshot of your electrical system at a specific point in time, any modifications can impact the accuracy of the assessment.

NFPA 70E Compliance & Arc Flash Study Updates

Compliance with NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace is essential to maintaining workplace safety. The standard requires that:

Major electrical modifications or renovations (e.g., changing a feed, adding large motors, or upgrading equipment) necessitate an updated Arc Flash study per NFPA 70E Section 130.5.
Even in the absence of major changes, Arc Flash studies must be reviewed at least every five years to account for any system changes that could impact safety.

Regular analysis ensures that your facility remains compliant and that personnel are protected against electrical hazards.

Failure is not an option. Let’s make your workplace safer.

Arc Flash Training & Safety Best Practices

Beyond system analysis, worker training is critical in preventing arc flash incidents. According to NFPA 70E Section 110.2(D)(3):

Workers require retraining every three years to stay up to date with electrical safety best practices.

Certain workplace conditions may require additional training as needed to address specific hazards.

Many companies adopt a yearly re-training policy to reinforce NFPA 70E safety concepts and ensure compliance.
