whats the
process?
start to finish:
your arc flash
hazard analysis
AVO Electrical Engineering Division
adheres to a standardized process in
performing every Arc Flash Hazard
Analysis. This correlates with IEEE
Standard 1584, Chapter 4.
Prior to beginning the actual study,
we will hold a project meeting (via
conference call or on site) with all
personnel who will be involved, to
establish roles, responsibilities and the
plan for data gathering.
A standard analysis will apply to three
phase equipment rated 240 volts or
greater and rated lower than 240 volts
when served from a transformer 125 kva
and larger.* You will need to determine
if you want an expanded scope that
includes all 208 volt or DC equipment, or
if you want a single phase analysis.
The entire project will be performed
under the supervision of a Registered
Professional Engineer (PE).

step 6: reporting
Upon completion of the calculations, we will prepare your Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
Report. This will be supplied to you for a short review period, during which your team
can review mitigation recommendations. At this point, we can hold a Management
Summary meeting to intepret the report results. Upon approval, we will provide a
final report and full sized one-line diagrams, stamped by our Registered PE. The
drawings and report will also be supplied to you in a digital format.

So how long is
this going to take?
Duration is affected by the type of
equipment and other conditions, but
through experience we have established

Comparing Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
bids can be confusing. If your prices
are widely varied, very likely so are the
deliverables youre getting with each. Use

compliant labels
This is an example of an arc flash hazard warning label produced by AVO Engineering
Division. Every characteristic of this label is intentional and serves a purpose. When
selecting a provider, you should ensure the labels meet the following minimum
compliance requirements.
AVO Engineering Division provides the following optional information: inventory
identifiers, bus numbers, bolted fault current, and approach boundaries.

A Template for
Soliciting Bids
An Arc Flash Hazard Analysis is a complex
project and we understand that you may
need to compare multiple providers.
Putting together a Request for Proposals
can be time consuming. Based on our
experience weve developed a template
to help you avoid known problems that
arise from incomplete RFPs.
Request Report
& Label Sample
It is always a good idea to request
samples of the Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
Report from each potential provider.
While this Report is based on technical
data, you need to ensure that the report
uses language and formatting that will
be easily understood by all relevant
personnel.
