What is an arc flash and why is it a workplace hazard?
An arc flash is an explosive release of energy caused by an electrical fault between energized conductors or between a conductor and ground. Arc flash incidents can produce extreme heat, intense light, pressure waves, and molten metal — posing severe burn, blast, and injury risks to anyone in the vicinity. OSHA and NFPA 70E require employers to assess arc flash hazards and implement appropriate safety measures to protect workers who interact with energized electrical equipment.
What is an arc flash study and what does it involve?
An arc flash study is a comprehensive engineering analysis of your electrical system that calculates the incident energy levels at each piece of electrical equipment. The study identifies arc flash boundaries, determines the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) required for each work location, and produces equipment labels showing the hazard level and required PPE. Transworld Electric’s engineers perform arc flash studies in accordance with NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 — the leading standards for arc flash hazard analysis.
Is an arc flash study required by law?
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 requires employers to assess workplace hazards and provide appropriate PPE — which includes arc flash hazards. NFPA 70E provides the industry-accepted methodology for meeting this obligation. While NFPA 70E itself is a consensus standard rather than a regulation, OSHA regularly cites it as the recognized standard of care for electrical safety. Facilities with energized electrical equipment are strongly advised to have a current arc flash study on file to demonstrate compliance.
How often does an arc flash study need to be updated?
NFPA 70E recommends that arc flash studies be reviewed and updated whenever significant changes are made to the electrical system — such as adding or removing equipment, changing utility service, or modifying protective device settings. As a general best practice, studies should be reviewed at least every five years to ensure they reflect the current state of the electrical system. Transworld Electric can assess whether your existing study is current or requires updating.
What deliverables does Transworld Electric provide with an arc flash study?
Transworld Electric provides a complete arc flash study deliverable package including a detailed engineering report, updated single line diagrams, arc flash hazard calculations for each piece of equipment, and arc flash labels for installation on all assessed equipment. The report documents the incident energy levels, arc flash boundaries, and PPE requirements at each location, giving your team the information needed to work safely on your electrical system.
How does an arc flash study improve workplace safety?
By identifying the specific hazard level at each piece of electrical equipment, an arc flash study allows your organization to implement targeted safety measures — including appropriate PPE requirements, safe work procedures, and equipment upgrades where hazard levels are unacceptably high. This targeted approach is far more effective than applying generic safety measures across the board, and it gives workers clear, equipment-specific guidance every time they approach energized equipment.
Where does Transworld Electric provide arc flash services?
Transworld Electric provides arc flash studies and related services throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, and through the BCES Global network of subsidiary companies, across the rest of North America.
