Electrical Safety & Arc Flash Risk Assessment

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis for Safer Electrical Workplaces

www.mysafety.my, supported by Saturn Pyro Sdn. Bhd., provides professional Arc Flash Hazard Analysis services for industrial, commercial and utility electrical installations in Malaysia.

Arc flash incidents can expose workers to extreme heat, pressure waves, molten metal, intense light and serious injury risks. A proper arc flash study helps identify electrical hazards, determine incident energy levels, define PPE requirements and support safer electrical maintenance practices.

Identify Arc Flash Risk Before Electrical Work Begins

Arc flash hazard analysis provides the technical basis for safer work planning, correct PPE selection, equipment warning labels, risk reduction actions and improved electrical safety awareness.

Understand the Hazard

Determine the potential arc flash incident energy at electrical equipment so that workers can understand the severity of the hazard before carrying out work.

🛡

Select Suitable PPE

Support proper PPE selection based on calculated arc flash energy, working distance and equipment risk level.

Improve Safety Control

Provide practical recommendations for reducing risk through protection settings, operating procedures, maintenance practices and safety labelling.

Why Arc Flash Hazard Analysis Matters

Electrical switchboards, motor control centres, transformers, distribution boards and MV/LV panels can present serious arc flash risks if fault energy, clearing time and protection performance are not properly understood. An arc flash study helps translate electrical calculations into practical safety information for personnel working near energized equipment.

Worker Safety

Helps protect electrical workers from severe injury by identifying arc flash energy and PPE needs.

Risk Visibility

Makes hidden electrical risks visible through calculated incident energy and arc flash boundaries.

Equipment Labelling

Supports clear warning labels for panels, switchboards and electrical equipment.

Maintenance Planning

Provides safety inputs for shutdown planning, electrical isolation and energized work assessment.

Our Arc Flash Study Scope

The study can be carried out as a dedicated arc flash assessment or together with ETAP power system studies such as short circuit analysis and protection coordination.

Electrical Data Review

Review single line diagrams, transformer ratings, cable data, switchgear information, protective device details and available system operating data.

Short Circuit Calculation

Determine available fault current levels required for arc flash calculations and equipment assessment.

Protection Clearing Time

Evaluate protective device operation and clearing time that directly affects arc flash incident energy.

Incident Energy Analysis

Calculate incident energy, arc flash boundary and risk levels for selected electrical equipment.

PPE Requirement Summary

Provide PPE guidance based on calculated arc flash levels to support safer electrical work planning.

Arc Flash Warning Labels

Prepare label information for electrical panels, switchboards and relevant equipment based on study results.

Typical Deliverables

Deliverables can be tailored based on facility size, available information, equipment list and required study scope.

Suitable for Industrial and Commercial Electrical Systems

Arc flash hazard analysis is useful for facilities where personnel carry out electrical switching, troubleshooting, testing, inspection, maintenance or isolation work.

LV Switchboards

Assess main LV switchboards, sub-switchboards, distribution boards and power distribution panels.

MV Switchgear

Review medium voltage switchgear, transformer incomers, feeders and protection arrangements.

Motor Control Centres

Evaluate MCCs, motor feeders and process-related electrical panels used in industrial operations.

Factories & Critical Facilities

Support electrical safety planning for manufacturing plants, utilities, data centres and critical facilities.

Arc Flash Analysis Turns Electrical Calculations into Practical Safety Information

A good arc flash study should not stop at calculations. It should help safety teams, engineers and maintenance personnel understand where the risks are, what PPE is required, what labels should be applied and what improvements can reduce exposure during electrical work.

Our Study Process

Saturn Pyro follows a structured process to ensure the arc flash assessment is based on traceable electrical information and practical site requirements.

Step 01
