Are You Looking at the Dates on your Arc Flash Labels?
As sure as the sun will set, Infra-Red can perform your Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, or update your current study!
DO YOU HAVE AN ARC FLASH STUDY? IS IT UP TO DATE?
When working on electrical applications, it is crucial to know the potential hazards involved. An Arc Flash Hazard Analysis can be conducted on electrical equipment to identify the degree of hazard involved. It also provides information regarding additional protective measures and recommendations that may need to be taken in order to bring your equipment into compliance.
And NO outage required!
The NFPA 70E (National Fire Protection Association) standard requires that buildings and facilities update their Arc Flash Hazard Analysis every five (5) years or after any significant equipment/system changes. We recommend that all buildings and facilities check their electrical equipment for Arc Flash Hazard labels. If the labels are out of date, or you have not had an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis conducted, please contact us to perform your Arc Flash Hazard analysis to bring your facility into compliance with NFPA 70E.
**The 2023 edition of the NFPA 70B standard represents a significant shift in the approach to electrical equipment maintenance. Previously considered a “Recommended Practice”, NFPA 70B is now a “Standard” containing mandatory language and requirements. This now requires the development, implementation and operation of an electrical maintenance program (EMP). It provides a framework to safeguard people, equipment and processes from electrical system failures. Maintaining an updated Arc Flash Hazard Analysis is a critical component for meeting the requirements of an electrical maintenance program.

By performing an infrared inspection, valuable information can be acquired in order to develop a predictive maintenance program for your facility. Until a failure brings them to your attention, problems, which normally remain hidden, can be found early and the causes identified.
Infrared viewing windows allow for thermography to be performed on gear when the hazard of removing covers is too great and on certain low voltage enclosures or medium voltage enclosure designs and door interlocks that do not allow for the safe removal of the equipment covers or the opening of doors, which is required for the inspection of the internal components and connections of the equipment.
