Training

As a part of our service we urge you to consider onsite training for personnel who are tasked with working on or maintaining electrical equipment. Our training insures that you and your personnel understand arc flash and the proper care and use of PPE. Additionally, we teach your employees the following: how to protect other employees who may be exposed to arc flash; how to establish and maintain the four hazard boundaries; how to establish an electrically safe working condition and much more.

What’s involved?

We survey your facility’s electrical system, beginning at the electrical utility, then the electrical service, the main distribution system(s), all panel boards, all disconnect switches, motors of 50 horsepower and larger, onsite generators, the wiring and all systems covered under NFPA 70E.
We produce truly accurate one-line drawings of the electrical system (the electrical backbone of your system) then:

• We calculate the maximum possible fault currents throughout the system.
• We identify the locations where arc faults are possible.
• We determine real-world solutions to reduce arc flash and arc flash hazards.
• We provide and produce the mandatory ANSI labeling with the hazards and we permanently attach them to your equipment.
• We produce a complete report that includes the Short Circuit Study, the Coordination Study, hard copies and soft copies of all the work product and we produce CAD one-line drawings of your system.
• The above mentioned documents are bound into a report and delivered to you.

In addition:

• We thoroughly review the findings with you.
• We explain everything the report contains so you fully understand the results.
• And your report in written non technical language, so you can maximize your use of this information.
