Why P&C and Arc Flash?

Under NFPA 70E and CSA Z462, Arc Flash studies should be reviewed and updated every five years. If your facility is overdue, outdated labels could be a liability to your personnel and equipment.

Effective Protection & Coordination is paramount to balance the need for maximum uptime with safety and equipment protection.

What is an Arc Flash?

An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy in the form of light, heat and pressure caused by a fault in an electrical system. Temperatures can reach nearly 20,000°C (several times hotter than the surface of the sun), vaporizing metal and causing serious injuries such as burns, blindness, or even death. The severity and likelihood of these events can be mitigated with proper planning and safety measures.
