Onyx Techno Solutions

Our Arc Flash Analysis Service is a specialized safety assessment aimed at identifying arc flash hazards within your electrical system and determining the appropriate protective measures to minimize the risk to personnel and equipment. This critical study helps ensure compliance with safety standards, enhances workplace safety, and prevents catastrophic electrical incidents.

Statistics of Arc Flash Event

·         According to OSHA 10% of job fatalities due to the electrocution.

·         97% of all electricians have been shocked or injured on the job.

·         Approximately 30,000 workers receive electrical shocks yearly.

·         Over 3600 disabling electrical contact injuries occur annually.

·         Electrocutions are the 4th leading cause of traumatic occupational fatalities.

·         Over 2000 workers are sent to burn centers each year with severe Arc-Flash burns.

·         10% of workplace accident deaths are caused by burn injuries.

·         Over 1000 electrical workers die each year from workplace accidents.

·         According to NFPA 25% of all fires occurs due to electricity About 12 people dead in India daily due to electrocution according to NCRB.

• Data Collection: Collect necessary data about the facility’s power distribution system, including transformers KVA and impedance, nameplate specifications, fuses, breakers, along with lengths and sizes of all cables.
• Engineering Analysis of the Data: To determine the available fault current at each location. 
• Protective Device Coordination: To Determines selectivity and sensitivity of the protective device and to decide fault clearing time of Protective device. 
• Arc Flash Calculations: To determine incident energy levels and flash protection boundaries and complete calculations of all relevant equipment based on IEEE-1584. 
• Arc Flash Study and Analysis Report: Based on the calculations are completed a comprehensive report will be built based on the findings. 
• Label Creation: Creation of warning labels showing incident energy and working distance, arc flash boundary, and nominal system voltage. Include Limited, Restricted approach boundaries, date, and recommended personal protection equipment (PPE).
• Training: Employees shall be trained to understand the specific electrical hazards associated with electrical system. Employee shall be trained in safety related work practices and procedural requirement to provide protection from electrical hazards associated with their respective task.
• Review: 5-year review. The incident energy analysis shall be updated when changes occur in the electrical distribution system that could affect the results of the analysis. The incident energy analysis shall also be reviewed for accuracy at intervals not to exceed 5 years.
