Arc flash hazard analysis and safety program development to protect against arc flash hazards is in its infancy.

Research into the arcing phenomena is ongoing as industry tries to better understand and model arcing faults. Standards and recommended practices are changing constantly in order to reflect the added understanding we are gaining and to better protect workers. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is also changing at a rapid pace as new and better technology is developed. ESA has created an Arc Flash Resource Center at the website www.easypower.com to keep you up to date as new information becomes available and industry advancements are made. Look for new versions of this guide as we continue to enhance and add new technology to the arc flash assessment process. ESA is committed to providing industry with the most advanced state of the art technology in our EasyPower software product line. We believe EasyPower provides the self-documenting solution capabilities to keep your safety program current and in compliance with OSHA and NFPA-70E regulations. ESA can also provide detailed engineering studies and arc flash assessment programs to help your company get started.
