Electrical arc flash or Arc Flash Risk is an electrical hazard present in the system which causes very dangerous electrical and fire accidents. When the electric arc flash accident happens in the system it generates huge amount of fire which may even cause death to the working personnel. This is the reason OSHA considers arc flash hazards as very dangerous risk that needs to be analyzed and mitigated. Here arises the requirement of arc flash hazard analysis and mitigation by proper arc flash risk assessment of the system. As per OSHA and NFPA-70E , analyzing the short circuit currents in the system and calculating the incident energy levels, creating the warning labels with the details of the incident energy levels, approach boundaries details, arc flash shock hazard details are the arc flash hazard analysis requirements.

What is an arc flash study or Arc Flash Risk Assessment ? This is the question on every safety engineers mind when they come across OSHA and NFPA 70E requirements. Before understanding what is arc flash analysis ? It is important to know actually what is an electric arc ?

The arc flash hazard analysis study (NFPA 2018) or Arc flash risk assessment program(NFPA 2018) is a totally integrated system which provides solution for multiple scenarios considering the worst-case arc flash energy levels in electrical equipment.
