Arc Flash Assessment
Our arc flash assessments identify electrical hazards by analysing incident energy levels and fault currents. Using industry-standard software, we model electrical systems to determine risks and provide mitigation strategies. This ensures compliance with safety regulations while protecting personnel and equipment in high-hazard environments.
Earthing Systems
We design and verify TT, IT, and TN earthing systems to control fault currents and prevent electric shock. Our solutions align with BS 7430 and IET Wiring Regulations, ensuring safety and compliance for industrial electrical installations in demanding environments.
Protection Coordination
Our protection coordination studies evaluate circuit breakers and fuses to ensure selective tripping during faults. This minimises downtime and equipment damage while maintaining power to unaffected systems, adhering to industry best practices for electrical safety.
Power System Analysis
We conduct load flow and fault studies to optimise electrical system performance. This includes harmonic analysis and renewable energy integration, ensuring stability and efficiency for industrial and commercial power networks under all operating conditions.
Hazardous Area Classification
Our DSEAR-compliant assessments classify hazardous zones and evaluate equipment in explosive atmospheres. We provide mitigation plans and database tools to manage compliance, ensuring safety and regulatory adherence for industries handling dangerous substances.
