Too often during a bid process, industrial engineers want to build a plant first, only addressing arc flash mitigation as an afterthought. But when power distribution systems are built with arc flash safety in mind from the outset, great things happen. Proactive arc flash mitigation not only safeguards your employees—it protects your entire enterprise.
By partnering with REAMCO, you can integrate arc flash safety into your project from the ground up, resulting in a safer, more efficient, and compliant facility. We also provide arc flash studies and analysis for existing systems, using our findings to design solutions that can be retrofitted to protect any industrial environment.
Arc Flash Mitigation Solutions for Southeastern Industries
To effectively mitigate arc flash hazards, a comprehensive approach is essential. At REAMCO, we have several strategies and approaches that help our industrial partners safeguard their workforces and optimize their electrical systems. Whether we’re designing new equipment or upgrading existing systems, you can trust our team to help bring your plant into full safety compliance.
Equipment Design
Every piece of equipment we design and manufacture is built to minimize the likelihood and severity of an arc flash. We provide arc flash limiter switchgear design and installation, upgrade relays and control panels, replace breakers, and more.
Protection Design
Protection design involves selecting and configuring electrical protection devices to rapidly interrupt power in the event of an arc flash. From remote operator design and installation to trip unit retrofit and coordination, we can handle it all.
Application Design
We begin with a power system study to confirm the best approach. We consider your overall electrical system and its operation to reduce hazards. We can also help industries navigate arc flash hazard analysis and risk assessment with field support.
Why Choose REAMCO for Arc Flash Analysis & Mitigation?
At REAMCO, we work with you to develop mitigation strategies as part of any new construction project. That means we prioritize arc flash safety as we’re specifying the equipment, choosing components, and installing systems. This way, we can avoid the time and expense of retroactively changing the design to address missed risks, so you can rest assured knowing you’re protected from the start.
Your Arc Flash
Questions Answered
An arc flash is a sudden, explosive release of energy that occurs when an electrical arc fault happens. This fault creates intense heat, light, pressure, and sound, potentially causing severe burns, injuries, and even fatalities.
If you’re beginning a new industrial construction project, have had an arc flash incident at your facility, or need electrical system upgrades to meet regulatory requirements, contact the engineering team at REAMCO.
Arc flashes are caused by a variety of factors, including equipment failure, human error, and environmental conditions. They can occur in any electrical system, but the risks are significantly higher in industrial settings due to the high voltages and currents involved.
An arc flash study is a detailed engineering analysis of an electrical system to determine the potential severity of an arc flash incident. It involves calculating the amount of energy that could be released during an arc flash and identifying the potential hazards to workers.
At REAMCO, we can perform a variety of power system studies to determine the necessary safety precautions, design considerations, and specifications for your industrial electrical system.
