Arc Flash Studies & Mitigation Services
Arc Flash Engineering for Industrial Facilities
Mangan Power Group helps industrial, utility and energy-sector facilities evaluate arc flash hazards and plan practical risk-reduction measures. Our engineering services connect field verification and power-system modeling with incident-energy analysis, equipment labeling, protective-device coordination and mitigation recommendations.
Whether you are commissioning equipment, updating an existing study or planning a facility expansion, we help define the study scope, identify missing system information and develop documentation that supports your electrical safety program. The engineering approach and applicable standards are established for the system and project requirements.

Our Arc Flash Capabilities
Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
- Perform detailed arc flash hazard studies based on IEEE 1584 and client-specific parameters
- Model worst-case incident energies and arc flash boundaries across Medium and Low Voltage systems.
- Evaluate fault currents, protective device settings, and coordination using state of the art analysis programs.
- Identify cascading fault conditions and devices contributing to excessive energy release.
- Evaluate incident energy and arc flash boundaries for the agreed study conditions.
- Provide engineering results to support equipment labeling, PPE selection and the facility electrical safety program.
Engineering Design & Mitigation
- Design and implement solutions like zone-selective interlocking (ZSI), arc-resistant switchgear, or fast-tripping relays.
- Recommend equipment upgrades or retrofits that reduce arc duration and intensity.
- Re-engineer protective relay and breaker settings to minimize clearing time during faults.
- Validate settings through time-current coordination curves and device manufacturer guidelines.
- Engineer safe racking procedures using remote racking systems to reduce arc flash exposure.
- Design and integrate remote disconnect switches and maintenance bypass panels.
Field Implementation & Compliance
- Prepare equipment label information based on the agreed study scope and calculated results.
- Deliver study reports, one-line diagrams, protective-device information and digital files as defined in the proposal.
- Verify electrical equipment and system information needed for the model.
- Coordinate access and data collection with facility personnel and established safe-work procedures.
Training, Oversight & Lifecycle Management
- Provide hands-on NFPA 70E training for electrical workers, operators, and maintenance staff.
- Offer customized PPE guidance, hazard awareness, and safety procedures.
- Assist with updating Electrical Safety Programs (ESPs), Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, and Energized Work Permits (EWPs).
- Monitor system changes to ensure updated arc flash documentation and labels.
- Provide engineering oversight during facility upgrades or equipment replacements affecting arc flash studies.
- Support continuous improvement efforts and long-term mitigation planning.

Arc Flash Study FAQs
Can Mangan update an existing arc flash study?
Yes. Mangan provides review and update services for existing electrical systems. The scope depends on the quality of the existing model and drawings, changes to equipment or utility data, and the operating scenarios to be evaluated.
Does an arc flash study require a site visit?
The need for field verification depends on the completeness and reliability of the available electrical information. Mangan can review existing documents and identify data gaps before defining the site work. Access, safe-work requirements and outage constraints are addressed during planning.
What affects the cost and schedule?
Factors include facility size, equipment count, voltage levels, the condition of existing records, required field work, operating scenarios and the agreed deliverables. Request a project-specific proposal rather than relying on a generic per-label price.
