An electrical explosion, and subsequent arc flash and arc blast, can occur in any facility. These dangerous events can be triggered by power irregularities, equipment faults, corroded parts, or even lightning strikes.
Prevention is crucial, but having proper documentation and processes for incidents is equally important. Customers rely on Agilix Solutions to assess risks, reduce hazards, and implement compliant safety procedures through our partnerships.
What is an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis?
An Arc Flash Hazard Analysis starts with a comprehensive engineered study of your existing electrical system. This involves cataloging all equipment and components and analyzing power use in relation
to how power feeds into your facility. Our partners provide a detailed report, identifying which panels feed which machines, assessing the current state of your equipment, performing load calculations, and offering safety recommendations for machinery servicing.
Key Components of Your Arc Flash Hazard Analysis:
- One-Line Diagram: Illustrates all equipment, power sources, and electrical connectivity points.
- Power Documentation: Details all power available in the facility to identify if you have adequate power and when additional sources are needed.
- Arc Flash Documentation: Shows the risk of working on live panels with formulas provided by an Agilix Solutions engineering partner.
- PPE Recommendations: Specifies the necessary personal protective equipment based on an incident heat energy calculation for the task.
- Clear Area Guidelines: Establishes boundaries around machinery during servicing, requiring PPE for anyone within these areas.
- Panel Labeling: Provides proper labeling for various panels and ensures correct application.
