Arc Flash Assessment – Hobart

Overview

C5 Pro-Solutions was awarded the role of arc flash design engineer for the review of a large industrial LV and HV existing electrical reticulation in Tasmania.

The Problem

Our client engaged C5 to undertake detailed arc flash studies through modelling validation, to assess safety compliance to the applicable standards for their existing LV and HV electrical reticulation. At the time of the engagement, the existing site’s risk associated with arc flash was not quantified. C5 was able to use our extensive expertise in practical arc flash analysis to accommodate the onsite constraints and develop an overall compliant integrated arc flash system assessment for the site.

The Solution

C5 was able to offer our expertise in arc flash analysis which included services such as:

• End to End project management between all stakeholders – internal staff and their contractors
• Detailed analytical assessment of Short-circuit fault levels
• HV and LV protection coordination
• Arc Flash incident energy and boundaries in accordance with NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584
