Engineering Services
For decades, our engineers have been at the forefront of power system engineering technology using state-of-the-art software and standards
Flash Hazard Analysis
We identify Arc Flash Protection Boundaries and proper PPE requirements to protect personnel from electrical arc hazards. Whether using worst-case industry tables or analytical engineering techniques, this safety-related analysis is essential for commercial, industrial, and utility electrical power systems.
Load Flow Analysis
We calculate currents, voltages, and phase angles for each bus in your system. This information is used to determine proper sizing of current-carrying equipment, identify overloaded devices, and determine locations for power factor correction.
Short Circuit Analysis
We determine the adequacy of your interrupting devices (circuit breakers) and identify correct setpoints for instantaneous elements. This analysis is required for proper sizing of circuit breakers and fuses to ensure safe interruption of fault currents.
Harmonic Studies
Our two-phase approach first measures your system harmonic levels using recording equipment, then uses computer modeling to calculate harmonic load flows. We identify trouble spots and develop corrective actions such as filters.
System Stability Analysis
We model your power system and perform various transient and steady-state stability studies to determine whether your system will return to normal operation following short or long-term perturbations.
Engineering Documentation
Using state-of-the-art software, we create and update single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, elementary diagrams, and wiring diagrams. Clients are optionally supplied with paper prints, electronic files, or both.
