ARC Flash Study
ARC Flash Study Services
Protect people, improve electrical safety and make informed decisions with a professional ARC Flash Study from FANCO Industrial Solutions. Our experienced electrical engineers develop a detailed electrical network model and evaluate arc-flash hazards to support safer maintenance and operating practices.
What is an ARC Flash Study?
An ARC Flash Study is an electrical safety analysis used to determine the potential incident energy and arc-flash boundary associated with electrical equipment under defined operating and fault conditions. The study helps identify hazards, establish appropriate approach boundaries and support selection of suitable PPE and safety procedures.
Why it matters
An arc flash can release intense heat, light, pressure and molten metal in a very short time. A properly engineered study helps organizations understand the risk before personnel perform energized electrical work or maintenance.
Engineering-based assessment
FANCO evaluates the electrical distribution system through short-circuit, protective-device and arc-flash calculations, using a complete network model developed from actual site data.
Standards & Safety Framework
Our ARC Flash engineering approach is developed with recognized electrical and occupational safety references in mind.
Electrical safety in the workplace, including shock and arc-flash risk controls, boundaries and PPE considerations.
Industry-recognized methodology for calculating incident energy and arc-flash boundaries in electrical systems.
Occupational safety principles and safe-working practices that complement electrical hazard identification and risk control.
Our ARC Flash Study Methodology
We follow a structured engineering workflow—from site data collection through ETAP modelling, calculations, reporting and practical safety recommendations.
Data Collection & Site Survey
Collect existing electrical documentation and verify field information, equipment ratings, operating conditions and system configuration.
Single Line Diagrams (SLDs)
Review available SLDs and update/validate the electrical distribution topology against the actual installation.
Equipment & Protection Details
Compile transformer, switchgear, MCC, MCCB, ACB, fuse, relay, cable and other protective-device data, including ratings and settings where applicable.
Loads & Motors
Capture motorised loads, major electrical loads, operating states and relevant motor/feeder information required for the system model.
Power Sources
Assess utility/WAPDA supply, solar PV generation, standby/emergency generators (gensets), transformers and other sources contributing to the electrical network.
ETAP Network Model
Develop a complete electrical network model in ETAP and configure sources, buses, transformers, cables, loads and protective devices using verified project data.
Engineering Analysis
Perform the required short-circuit, protective-device coordination and arc-flash calculations for applicable operating scenarios.
Global-Standard Reporting
Prepare a professional report with study assumptions, system model, calculation results, incident-energy information, boundaries, findings and recommendations for safer maintenance.
