Arc Flash Risk Assessment - Shaw Consulting Services, LLC

Arc Flash Risk Assessment

An arc flash risk assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the potential hazards and risks associated with electrical arcs in a workplace or facility. This process involves collecting the electrical system data (breakers, panels, electrical equipment) by our field services team and modeled by our engineering department. An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy that occurs when there is a fault or short circuit in an electrical system. This release of energy can result in a violent explosion, producing intense heat, light, sound, and pressure waves, which can cause serious injuries, damage equipment, and even lead to fatalities.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

Infrared thermal imaging, also known as infrared thermography or thermal imaging, is a technology that captures and visualizes the infrared radiation (heat) emitted by items in the electrical system to track down problems before they become larger issues. This process includes scanning equipment for variations in temperature to find equipment starting to breakdown or fail. Infrared thermal imaging is based on the principle that all objects with a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F) emit infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by specialized cameras and sensors.

Power Systems Studies

Power Systems Studies refer to a set of engineering and analytical investigations conducted to evaluate, design, and optimize electrical power systems. These studies are essential for ensuring the reliable, safe, and efficient operation of power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Power systems studies are conducted by our highly trained electrical engineers in the software SKM power tools to assess the performance of your electrical system. Here are some key types of power systems studies: Load Flow Studies. Short Circuit Studies, Coordination Studies, Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, Transient Studies, and Reliability Studies.

NFPA 70E Safety Training

Arc Flash Training / NFPA 70E classes are performed online or onsite to help protect employees from the dangers of electrical hazards faced in the workplace every day. Classes are offered in multiple languages to ensure your employees are trained and understand the NFPA 70E. The goal is to ensure employees have the knowledge to institute safe work practices and understand electrical hazards.

LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) - Shaw Consulting Services, LLC

LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out)

LOTO is safety procedure used particularly in settings with machinery, equipment, and electrical systems. The primary purpose of LOTO is to prevent the unexpected release of hazardous energy from equipment during maintenance, repair, or servicing activities. This procedure helps protect workers from potentially life-threatening injuries that can occur when equipment is accidentally energized or started while being worked on.

Lightning Protection Inspections

We will inspect your rooftop lighting protection system to ensure it’s in compliance with UL96A and if not provide a list of items to bring it back into specifications.
