Arc Flash Studies

Arc Flash Studies, Arc Flash Services

3S MEP + S provides arc flash and breaker coordination studies per the NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace and IEEE Standard 1584 – Electrical Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations. OSHA now requires it, and it will also protect your employees. We have experts with more than a decade of experience in similar projects. Our experts understand the need for these studies and will help your facility meet the requirements. 3S MEP + S will print and provide labels that can be applied to the electrical panels. We utilize the “SKM System Analysis” tool to model the electrical system and generate reports.
