An Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, or more commonly known as an Arc Flash Study, is a comprehensive electrical system analysis that is designed to evaluate the potential available incident energy specific to electrical equipment during a fault event. Having this knowledge will allow organizations to not only abide by the rulings set forth in the latest editions of OSHA (29 CFR 1910.269), and NFPA (130.5 C), but an arc flash study will also gain them a piece of mind. This peace of mind is achieved by knowing that a complete process to identify any potential severity of injury or damage to health has been proactively taken and any potential power quality issues will be identified in order to reduce the risk of business interruption.
By pinpointing areas of high risk within an electrical system, it enables targeted risk reduction strategies through engineering controls, administrative protocols, and the determination of necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). This proactive approach not only minimizes the potential for equipment damage but also enhances overall operational reliability.

At Henderson Services, we guarantee a seven-step Arc Flash Study process during our partnership to keep you compliant, keep your work force safe and educated, and to keep the lights on.
1. Electrical Asset Data collection- Electricians will be dispatched to collect the data necessary for the study. This process requires no interruption to business.
2. Short Circuit Analysis- Calculations are generated for each piece of electrical equipment
3. Incident Energy Analysis- Used to create the arc flash field labels specific to the equipment
4. Updated One-Line Drawings- A complete model of the whole electrical distribution system that is generated once the Arc Flash Study is complete
5. Mitigation Recommendations- A summary will be provided along with recommendations to improve the efficiency of your equipment
6. Installing Arc Flash Field Labels- Our electricians will return to your facility and personally install the field labels on the appropriate pieces of electrical equipment
