Arc Flash Electrical Engineering Coordination Study is a comprehensive evaluation of a building’s electrical system.
As part of professional commercial MEP engineering services, our review analyzes available fault currents, equipment interrupting ratings, and protective device coordination. We confirm that electrical components can safely withstand the standard system voltage and amperage. Performing this service under both normal and fault conditions, arc flash studies are a critical element of code-compliant electrical design. Safe and reliable building operations depend on it.
Our arc flash electrical engineering coordination studies evaluate switchgear, panelboards, transformers, and feeders. Identifying potential arc flash hazards and determining incident energy levels to benefit a project long-term.
Based on these calculations, we will develop arc flash labels for each electrical panel, indicate approach boundaries, and the required personal protective equipment (PPE) for maintenance and operation. This necessary information protects facility personnel, reduces risk, and supports compliance with NEC and NFPA standards, including NFPA 70 and NFPA 70E.
As part of a coordinated MEP design and verification process, arc flash studies are often performed in conjunction with electrical load design, short-circuit analysis, and system coordination studies. These services support commercial MEP inspection and verification, assist with permitting and occupancy requirements, and provide valuable documentation for ongoing facility maintenance.
Integrating arc flash analysis early in the electrical design phase allows potential deficiencies to be addressed before construction or equipment installation. Resulting in a safer, more efficient electrical system that aligns with commercial MEP design standards. Additionally, this inspection can improve the long-term reliability and overall performance of the building’s MEP systems.
