Our arc flash analysis supports safety guidelines and provides clear, actionable outputs:

Limit arc flash incident energy based on protective device maximum fault clearing time (e.g., 2 seconds)
Empirical equation range limits, system grounding configurations, and equipment gap/conductor data per IEEE 1584
Distinction between load-side and line-side protective devices
User-definable working distances, enclosure dimensions, and typical equipment parameters
Low-voltage arc sustainability handling (e.g., 240V, I_bf < 2 kA)
Arc flash boundary determination for different incident energy limits (E_B)
Standard-defined insulating gloves and PPE on arc flash safety labels
Maximum and minimum arc fault currents for worst-case results
Fault locations: source protective device, bus arc faults, load-side PD arc faults, back enclosures, instrumentation compartments

We deliver studies and documentation that help you protect workers and stay compliant.
