)) Standard of Care regulations for electrical safety require electric uttilities to understand their arc flash hazards and to have a safety program baased on those hazards. Black & Veatch’s Arc Flash Hazard Study is an invalu
uable tool that will aid you in reviewing and updating your electrical safetty program. That is because the study determines the amount of eneergy released during an arc flash, the personal protective equipment (PP
PE) required by the worker, the safe distance (Approach Boundary) fro
om energized equipment for unprotected personnel and any design mitigation solutions that may be appropriate.

SOLUTION
The Arc Flash Hazard Study consists of system‐specific arc flash modeling, an arc flash hazard analysis, and development of mitigaation strategies and solutions. Arc flash modeling is the replication of electrical one‐lines in model simulation software such as OTI (ETAP

The model resultts analysis determine the amount of energy released in an arc flash evvent and the resulting hazard rating. Mitigation strategies and detailed mitigation solutions allow for a reduction in the hazard rating. While the elements of our Arc Flash Hazard Study are customizable
