Arc Flash Hazard Analysis and Mitigation
You have many choices when selecting a partner to conduct an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, now required by OSHA. Only PowerSource helps you get the most from your study by showing you how to use it to prevent and solve future problems.
A PowerSource Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis creates a digital model that is a like a roadmap of your plant’s electrical system. You can see clearly which circuits feed each part of your process, as well as the capacity vs. demand of each part of the electrical system. We’ll show you how to use it for daily operations and often can address other electrical issues at the same time for no or little additional cost. Plus, PowerSource doesn’t hold your information hostage in a propriety software program.
Why does your plant need an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis?
