Arc flash events release intense heat, pressure and light in milliseconds, endangering people and plant. NOVTRIQ delivers arc flash studies that quantify incident energy across your electrical network, define safe working distances, and produce the labelling and PPE guidance operators need to work safely and stay compliant.
Discuss Your ProjectWe build a validated single-line model of the installation and run short-circuit and protection studies using industry platforms such as ETAP and SKM. Incident energy is calculated to IEEE 1584, with arc flash boundaries derived for each node. Where protection settings drive high incident energy, we recommend coordination changes, maintenance switching or arc-reduction measures to lower risk at source.
Study outputs translate into practical controls: durable equipment labels, a task-based PPE schedule, and safe systems of work aligned to NFPA 70E principles and UK electrical safety duties. We advise on de-energised working as the primary control, and on the assessment required before any energised task proceeds.
Arc flash rarely sits alone. We coordinate findings with short-circuit ratings, earthing and bonding, and DSEAR requirements in hazardous areas, so that a single, consistent electrical safety picture supports both compliance and day-to-day operations.
NOVTRIQ delivers engineering-grade arc flash studies that make energised work safer and compliance defensible.
