Reliable Preventative
Your facility’s operations HINGE on your ability to have reliable electrical power.
Even SMALL electrical failures or disturbances could cause devastating consequences including:
- Extensive downtime of operations
- Facility downtime could be as high as $200,000 LOSS per HOUR!
- Damage of expensive equipment
- Loss of inventory or goods in the event of a power outage
- Increased expenses of locating, repairing, and then upgrading your system afterwards
Our Analysis could help prevent these issues and more.
Improve, Optimize, and Protect your facility now!
Dependable Growth
Are you currently planning to expand your facility?
Or perhaps you are working through diagnostic issues or doing preventative maintenance now but have future expansion plans?
An electrical system analysis will aid in future planning by demonstrating how the system will perform during normal and emergency operation conditions, provide accurate fault current calculations at each location in the system, and identify currently under-utilized equipment.
Dependable Growth begins with dependable electrical power!
Electrical Power Studies
Facilities of all sizes rely on a steady, reliable, and well-maintained electrical power distribution system.
Even small electrical failures or faults can have devastating consequences including extensive downtime of company operations, damage of equipment or inventory in the event of a power outage, and expense of locating and repairing damaged equipment.
PROTECT YOUR FACILITY by having an electrical power system analysis performed by the Arc Flash Study Pro and give your engineers specific instructions on how best to specifically improve, optimize, and maintain your electrical system.
We specialize in a variety of electrical power studies including:
- Arc Flash Analysis
- Protective Device Coordination
- Power Flow Analysis
- Short Circuit Study
- Motor Start Analysis
- D/C Analysis
- Medium Voltage Relay Setting Correction
Why pay an inflated price to your electrical company just to have them outsource an electrical system analysis specialist as a consultant for their team and then have to pay the costs for the entire team to come out to your site and then have to deal with multiple people?
Hire the Pro DIRECTLY and get an experienced professional at a fraction of the price and hassle!
With over 25+ years, hundreds of power studies performed, and a long and impressive list of Fortune 1000 and smaller clients, you can rest assured that your facility will be in expert hands.
We are registered in Florida and many other states. Additionally, we are also NCEES registered and can get quick licensing for any other state in the U.S. Don’t pay a big company’s overhead!

Arc Flash Study
Arguably the most important of the analysis that your facility needs.
(Note: Arc Flash Study may also be referred to as an Arc Flash Analysis, Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, Arc Flash Fault, or Arc Flash Hazard Prevention/Mitigation)
Performed to determine the available arc fault currents and arc flash hazards, and also to ensure that your workers are using the proper personal protection equipment (PPE) and safety equipment.
Arc flash hazard exists whenever personnel are servicing electrical equipment in the energized state.
1910 regulations clearly state that a STUDY MUST BE PERFORMED by a licensed professional in order to determine these values.
We are an NFPA member and use the industry-leading NFPA 70E method.
- Increase facility reliability, equipment protection, and personnel safety
- Comply with NFPA 70E regulations and avoid a $500,000 fine
Short Circuit Study
(Note: Short Circuit Study may also be referred to as a Short Circuit Analysis, Electrical Failure Analysis, or as an Electrical Fault Analysis)
Performed to determine if the interrupting capacities of the power system components are adequate enough to protect your power system.
The National Electrical Code® requires that all short circuit interrupting devices have ratings sufficient for the current which must be interrupted.
A severe fault (short circuit) can have catastrophic consequences on your electrical system.
Electrical systems often go through changes without consideration of short circuit level and equipment rating changes.
New buildings and installations aren’t immune, and fault levels can vary between systems and locations. ALL SYSTEMS WILL FAULT AT SOME POINT.
An Electrical Failure Analysis,also commonly referred to as a Short Circuit Study, will provide the information required to determine if the interrupting capacities of the power system components are adequate enough to protect your power system.
Protective Device Coordination
(Note: Protective Device Coordination may also be referred to as a Short Circuit Coordination Study, Time Current Coordination, or as Power System Protection)
Performed to ensure IN ADVANCE that the system protective devices will QUICKLY isolate a fault and minimize the disturbance on your electrical system.
A Protective Device Coordination Study will show us the probable and possible values of fault currents within your system and show you the impact short circuits and failures would have on your fuses, circuit breakers, and your facility’s operation.
- Increase equipment protection
- Increase facility reliability by limiting the effects of a disturbance (fault/overload) to smaller areas within the distribution system.
- Ensure protective device coordination by setting the protective devices to trip in sequence.
Electrical Infrared Thermal Inspection
Infrared is a non-destructive, predictive maintenance tool which is capable of detecting anomalies, based on the load conditions of the equipment creating a “snap-shot-in-time” of your equipment’s thermal image.
The goal of infrared (thermal) inspection is to survey the designated electrical equipment to pinpoint defective components and elevated temperatures in your power system.
If unfound or untreated, thermal “hot spots” can cause potential explosions, fire, or other electrical service interruption threats.
Thermal hot spots are generally caused by overloaded or unbalanced electrical circuits, broken equipment, or loose connections.
These conditions are often overlooked during routine facility evaluations!
They can result in the release of heat that will be visible only through infrared thermography detection services.
Medium Voltage Relay Settings
Performed to ensure your relay’s are set correctly to increase equipment protection, ensure protective relay coordination, and limit the effects of a disturbance.
Medium Voltage Relays are used to protect power system devices including generators, transformers, buses, and feeder lines from power system faults.
There are several different kinds of faults such as phase to ground and phase to phase and other combinations.
There can be many different causes of these faults with the most common being lightning, rodents, human interference, aging of equipment, and adverse weather.
The relay is used to detect the fault and then open breakers in the area to clear the fault.
Relays must be set CORRECTLY to increase equipment protection, ensure protective relay coordination, and limit the effects of a disturbance.
Power Flow Analysis
(Load Flow Study)
Used to determine how your electrical system will operate in normal and emergency conditions, and to check for the application of power factor correction capacitors.
A Load Flow Study will reduce your electric bill by determining the size and location of power factor correction capacitors and aid in future planning and current operations by demonstrating how the electrical system will perform during normal and emergency operation conditions.
Motor Start Analysis
(Motor Starting Study)
Used to reduce voltage flicker and voltage drop problems and to determine the best method to start the motor with minimum impact to the rest of your distribution system.
