An arc-flash hazard analysis, also known as an arc flash study is a risk assessment that evaluates the likelihood of an arc flash incident and how to protect people from the resulting hazards:
- What it does - Determines the potential energy of an arc flash, the likelihood of injury, and the appropriate PPE to protect workers
- Why it's important - Helps ensure compliance with arc flash codes and standards, and facilitates safe work conditions
- Who requires it - OSHA enforces employers are required to ensure their workers understand and can protect themselves from arc flash risks
- How often it's required - NFPA 70E requires arc flash studies to be updated every 5 years or as needed per power system modifications
An arc flash hazard analysis typically includes the following components:
- Field survey - Data collection of the power distribution system
- Single-line diagram - Produce a power distribution schematic
- Short-circuit analysis - Determines the fault current that would flow to each piece of equipment in the event of a short circuit
- Incident energy analysis - Determines the potential arc flash energy present in each piece of equipment per IEEE 1584
- Protective device coordination - Compares the fault current to the interrupting capacity of main circuit breakers or fuses
- Reports and recommendations - Includes label installation with hazard and PPE guidance
