Electrical Safety is of utmost concern in the workplace. Due to severe injuries caused by arc blasts, arc flash safety measures were implemented to uphold the well-being of electrical workers.
The NFPA 70 2011 National Electrical Code and the NFPA 70E 2012 Electrical Safety in the Workplace have rules and regulations that change the working conditions of electrical workers for the better. Employers who fail to comply with the rules implemented by the NEC and OSHA receive citations or pay huge fines.
ESAD, LLC helps keep you electrically safe. We offer training classes and a Compliance Package consisting of an arc flash/short circuit analysis, arc flash labels, and fault current labels. All labels conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code and NFPA 70E 2012, and meet ANSI Z534.4 standards.
Arc Flash Labels
ESAD’s arc flash labels are prepared by a professional engineer and based on an in depth arc flash analysis as documented in NFPA 70E 2012 and IEEE 1584 and IEEE 1584a. Our labels include the PPE Level, Arc Flash Boundary, Incident Energy, Shock Hazard Exposure, Nominal System Voltage, and the Approach Boundaries.
Fault Current Labels
ESAD’s fault current labels are prepared by a professional engineer and based on an in depth fault current analysis. Labels based on maximum available fault current from utility transformer are not allowed. Our labels are based on calculated fault current and conform to the 2011 National Electrical Code Article 110-24.
Relay Coordination
One of the most critical aspects in a power system is power protection. Power protection involves using protective devices to insure that in the case of a short circuit or electrical fault, system components are not damaged and as little of the system is taken down. In order to provide adequate protection for the circuit, these fault conditions must be simulated and analysis. ESAD will analyze your system and determine the best protective device coordination to achieve optimum equipment protection and selectivity.
