What is Arc Flash Risk Assessment?
An Arc Flash Risk Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of electrical systems to identify potential arc flash hazards. It involves hazard identification, incident energy calculations, and tailored recommendations to minimize risks and safeguard workers.
Arc flash incidents occur when a low-impedance fault creates an intense electrical explosion, leading to severe injuries, equipment damage, and even fires. At Vedant Energy Solutions, our assessments go beyond routine inspections, delivering practical safety solutions aligned with international standards to ensure a safer workplace.
