Arc Flash Studies

We provides arc flash and breaker coordination studies in accordance with NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace and IEEE Standard 1584 – Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations. These studies are essential for regulatory compliance and play a critical role in ensuring employee safety.

Our team includes experts with over a decade of experience in similar projects. We understand the importance of these studies and assist facilities in meeting all applicable safety and compliance requirements. As part of our services, 3S MEP +S also prints and provides arc flash labels for application on electrical panels.

We utilize the SKM Power*Tools (System Analysis) software to model electrical systems and generate detailed, accurate reports.
