Arc Flash & Power System Studies · California
Arc flash hazard analysis for commercial, industrial, and critical facilities across California. Calculated per IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E, modeled in SKM Power*Tools, and delivered with equipment labels and a stamped report.
Independent engineering. We don't sell equipment or PPE, so our recommendations answer only to the numbers.
Methods & Tools
Recognized calculation methods, an industry-standard model, and a PE who signs the results.
Incident energy and arc flash boundaries calculated with the current IEEE 1584 model, using the actual electrode configuration, working distance, and enclosure size for each piece of equipment.
Results are presented the way NFPA 70E expects them, so your electrical safety program, PPE selection, and labels all line up with the study.
We build the system model in SKM Power*Tools from field data and utility fault information. You receive the model files, so future updates start from a verified baseline instead of from scratch.
What's Included
Every arc flash study includes the supporting studies it depends on. Scope is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Who We Serve
From a single service entrance to multi-substation campuses, anywhere in California.
Statewide California coverage. Northern California, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, and Southern California, including the Los Angeles area.
How Pricing Works
No hourly billing and no open-ended estimates. We scope your system, quote one fixed price, and that is the price.
Tell us the facility, service size, and roughly how many panels and switchboards are involved. Free, and you talk to an engineer.
A written scope and a single fixed fee covering data collection, all three studies, labels, and the stamped report.
We collect equipment data on site, obtain utility fault information, and build the SKM Power*Tools model.
You receive the stamped report, printed labels, and the model files, with a review call to walk through findings.
Common Questions
It depends mostly on the number of buses (switchboards, panels, and disconnects) in scope and whether one-line drawings already exist. We quote a fixed fee after a short scoping call, so you know the full cost before committing to anything.
NFPA 70E calls for the arc flash risk assessment to be reviewed at least every five years, and whenever major modifications or renovations change the system. If you have an existing SKM model from us, updates are faster and less expensive.
Yes. If the original model files are available we can start from them after verifying the data. If only the PDF report exists, we will tell you honestly whether an update or a new model is the better value.
The site address, a contact for access, and any existing one-line diagrams or prior studies. We handle the utility fault current request and the field data collection.
Labels are included with every study. Installation can be added to the quote, or your facility staff or electrical contractor can apply them using the location list in the report.
