If your power system has never been analysed for arc flash energy, you may want to consider an arc flash study from CEE. We can create a computer model of your network and calculate how much energy could be released at each major switchboard or item of equipment. CEE can also recommend changes to your existing overcurrent protection settings to reduce the amount of energy that could be released by an electric arc.
Sometimes existing overcurrent protective devices won't provide adequate protection from an arc; this is when you need an arc detection system. On critical infrastructure you may also wish to consider arc detection as a backup in the event that other protective devices operate too slowly.
