Arc Flash and Shock Hazard Assessment

Arc Flash and Shock Hazard Assessment is part of the Power System Studies which consists of the following and it is usually performed in this order:

Short Circuit Analysis

• Equipment/Device Evaluation
• Protective Device Coordination
• Arc Flash and Shock Hazard Assessment

Additional Power System Studies include:

• Demand and Load Flow studies
• Transient Motors Starting Analysis
• DC Systems Arc Flash Analysis
• Harmonics Analysis
• Electrical Grounding

We use SKM as our main software to perform these Power System Studies. Other major software includes:

• ETAP – Mostly suitable for wind farms and solar farms and DC Arc Flash
• Analysis – the most versatile of the three software.
• EasyPower
