Electrical Safety services are designed to protect people, assets, and operations by ensuring compliance with national and international standards.

Nature of Electric Arc

An electric arc can reach temperatures up to 19,500°C — nearly four times the surface temperature of the sun — vaporizing all known materials and posing extreme hazards during electrical faults.

Scope

Fault level and arcing fault magnitude analysis

Device clearing time and bolted-fault current determination

Arc flash boundaries, working distances, and incident energy calculation

Fire-resistant PPE and labeling guidelines

Recommendations for safe operation, maintenance, and arc-flash risk reduction

Applicable Standards: IEEE 1584 / NFPA 70E
