Services
Protective Device Coordination
Our protective device coordination service ensures optimal electrical system performance by analyzing circuit breaker and fuse interactions. We identify settings that maintain service continuity while protecting equipment from fault damage. This critical analysis reduces unplanned outages and extends equipment lifespan through properly sequenced protection schemes.
Arc Flash Studies
We conduct comprehensive arc flash risk assessments to determine incident energy levels at electrical equipment points. Our studies identify hazards, establish flash protection boundaries, and recommend appropriate PPE levels. These analyses help protect personnel while ensuring compliance with OSHA and NFPA 70E requirements through documented safety protocols.
Renewable Energy Design
Our renewable energy design service creates grid-connected power generation systems compliant with utility requirements. We engineer interconnection protection systems, perform power quality analysis, and develop utility coordination strategies. This ensures reliable renewable energy integration while maintaining existing system stability and regulatory compliance.
Short Circuit Analysis
We perform detailed short circuit calculations to determine available fault currents at equipment locations. This essential study verifies equipment interrupting ratings, identifies potential weak points, and informs protective device coordination strategies. Accurate fault current data forms the foundation for all subsequent power system analyses.
Emergency Generator Systems
Our emergency generator system designs ensure reliable power continuity for critical operations. We analyze load requirements, specify appropriate generator capacity, and engineer fuel system integration. The designs incorporate proper transfer switch coordination and code-compliant installation requirements to guarantee operational readiness during outages.
