We\u2019ve taken a complex process and simplified it so that you can quickly understand the arc flash study, why you need it and what the outcomes will be for your new build or existing facility project.<\/p>

An arc flash study is conducted by a professional electrical engineer to evaluate arc flash hazards<\/a> of an electrical distribution system and to educate workers on hazards associated with their workplace. Basically, an arc flash study evaluates the electrical safety of a workplace facility and highlights the risks and potential hazards present in electrical systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
