Benefits Electrical Power Study

Welcome to Arc Flash Study Pro!

Facilities of all sizes rely on a steady, reliable, and well-maintained electrical power distribution system. Even small electrical failures or faults can have devastating consequences including extensive downtime of company operations, damage of equipment or inventory in the event of a power outage, and expense of locating and repairing damaged equipment. Protect your facility by having an electrical power diagnostic study performed by the Arc Flash Study Pro and give your engineers specific instructions on how best to specifically improve, optimize, and maintain your electrical system.

We specialize in a variety of electrical power studies inlcuding the arc flash study, electrical fault analysis, protective device coordination study, load flow study, motor starting study, and correcting medium voltage relay settings. We're located in Florida but are NCEES registered for quick licensing anywhere in the country. Don't pay a big company's overhead when you can Hire the Pro, Deal with the Pro, and Work with the Pro from beginning to end.

Electrical Power Studies

(Also referred to as a Power Study, Power Studies, Power Analysis, Electrical Power Studies, or Power Coordination Studies)

An Electrical Power Study is a combination of any or all of the electrical power studies available. Arc Flash Study Pro specializes in and offers only those studies most important and essential for you to maintain your electrical system. These include the Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, Electrical Fault Analysis, Protective Device Coordination Study, Load Flow Study, Motor Starting Study, and Medium Voltage Relay Settings.

Arc Flash Study

(Also referred to as Arc Flash Analysis or Arc Flash Hazard Prevention Study)

Performed to determine the available arc fault currents and arc flash hazards and ensure your workers are using the proper personal protection equipment (PPE) and safety equipment. Arc flash hazard exists whenever personnel are servicing electrical equipment in the energized state. An Arc Flash Study is performed in order to determine the available arc fault currents and arc flash hazards. OSHA regulations clearly state that a Study MUST be performed to determine these values. We are an NFPA member and use the industry-leading NFPA 70E method.

Electrical Fault Analysis

(Also referred to as a Short Circuit Study, Fault Study, Fault Study Analysis, or Fault Analysis)

Performed to determine if the interrupting capacities of the power system components are adequate enough to protect your power system. The National Electrical Code® requires that all short circuit interrupting devices have ratings sufficient for the current which must be interrupted. A severe fault (short circuit) can have catastrophic consequences on your electrical system. Electrical systems often go through changes without consideration of short circuit level and equipment rating changes. New buildings and installations aren't immune, and fault levels can vary between systems and locations. ALL SYSTEMS WILL FAULT AT SOME POINT. An Electrical Fault Analysis, also commonly referred to as a Short Circuit Study, will provide the information required to determine if the interrupting capacities of the power system components are adequate enough to protect your power system.

Protective Device Coordination Study

(Also referred to as Circuit Breaker Coordination, or a Time Current Coordination Study)

Performed to ensure that the system protective devices will quickly isolate a fault and minimize the disturbance on the electrical system. A Protective Device Coordination Study will show you the probable and possible values of fault currents within the system and show you the impact short circuits and failures would have on your fuses, circuit breakers, and your facility's operation.

Medium Voltage Relay Settings

Performed to ensure your relay's are set correctly to increase equipment protection, ensure protective relay coordination, and limit the effects of a disturbance. Medium Voltage Relays are used to protect power system devices including generators, transformers, buses, and feeder lines from power system faults. There are several different kinds of faults such as phase to ground and phase to phase and other combinations. There can be many different causes of these faults with the most common being lightning, rodents, human interference, aging of equipment, and adverse weather. The relay is used to detect the fault and then open breakers in the area to clear the fault. Relays must be set correctly to increase equipment protection, ensure protective relay coordination, and limit the effects of a disturbance.
