Arc flash consultants are electrical engineers who model your power system, calculate the incident energy at every piece of equipment and set the PPE and boundaries your crews work to. Arc Flash Study Consultants (AFSC) does all of it for US facilities, to IEEE 1584-2018 and NFPA 70E-2027, with a written quote in 24 hours.
Why now
Six deadlines that put a study on the calendar
Your study is turning 5
NFPA 70E-2027 caps the review interval at 5 years. Past that date, your labels describe a system you may no longer have.
Check if your study is dueAn OSHA inspector asked for it
Inspectors ask for the hazard assessment behind your labels. We turn a citation into a documented, dated close-out.
Close out the citationYour insurer flagged it
Loss-control reports often list a missing or outdated arc flash study. We hand you the study and the records to clear the item.
Answer your insurerA turnaround is on the calendar
An outage is the moment to verify de-energized gear and hang new labels. Book early and the field work fits inside your window.
Plan around my outageNew or changed equipment
A new transformer, a utility change or new relay settings can move incident energy at every bus downstream.
Update my studyThe 2026 NEC label rules
The 2026 NEC revises arc flash hazard marking in section 110.16. Check that your labels keep pace before the next walkdown.
See the label rulesArc flash study services, from field data to labels on the gear
Our arc flash study services cover the whole job: field data collection, the system model, short circuit and coordination checks, incident energy at every bus, labels printed and installed, and NFPA 70E-2027 training for the people who work on the gear. One team, one scope, one written quote, one point of contact.

Book a scope callArc flash engineering services for industrial and mission-critical sites
Arc flash engineering services change with the site. A refinery needs field work timed to a turnaround, a data center needs work sequenced around redundant feeds, and a food plant needs crews who fit around sanitation and production runs. We plan each study around how your site actually operates.
Your quote is one form away
Tell us the site, the voltage and the deadline. An engineer sends scope, price and a dated timeline within one business day.
What a typical project looks like
A study update inside a turnaround window
Field data is walked down before the outage, the model is ready when the units come down, and labels go on while the gear is de-energized. No extra shutdown.
A study planned around redundancy
Data collection runs one side of an A/B system at a time, so the load stays protected. Every step is scheduled with your facilities team before anyone opens a panel.
A plant studied across weekend shifts
Field work runs on weekend and night shifts, so lines keep running Monday to Friday. Your sanitation and production calendar sets the plan, not ours.
Illustrative scenarios. No client names, results or figures are claimed.
Arc flash labels
Labels that match your study
Labels are printed from your study data, so the numbers on the gear match the report. We supply them and install them on site.
Pricing
Know your price before anyone books a flight
Price follows scope: how many buses, the highest voltage, and whether your drawings are current. Share your one-line diagram and we return a fixed price in writing within a day, so you can budget with confidence.

What to look for in an arc flash study provider
A good arc flash study provider verifies field data on site, models to IEEE 1584-2018, has a licensed Professional Engineer review the results, prints labels from the same data, and trains your crews to read them. Ask for a sample report and a dated timeline before you sign anything.
| Check | Study done right | Labels that fail an audit |
|---|---|---|
| Field data | Verified on site against the gear | Copied from old drawings |
| Method | IEEE 1584-2018 incident energy at every bus | Older or undocumented method |
| Review | Reviewed by a US-licensed PE | No engineering review |
| Labels | Printed from the study and installed | Generic labels or none |
| Next review | Dated within 5 years | No date on file |
Comparing arc flash study companies
Arc flash study companies differ in four ways that matter: who collects the field data, which method they model to, who reviews the results, and whether labels and training are included. Compare those four before you compare price, because a cheap study that misses equipment costs you a second study.
Frequently asked questions
Question not here? Ask an engineer
Who provides arc flash studies?
Arc flash studies are provided by electrical engineering firms that model power systems and calculate incident energy. AFSC is one of them: our field engineers collect the data, our engineers build the model, a US-licensed Professional Engineer reviews the results, and we install the labels. You get one accountable team instead of three vendors.
Where can I find an arc flash study companies list?
No official arc flash study companies list exists; OSHA and NFPA do not certify providers. Build your own shortlist from firms that model to IEEE 1584-2018, use licensed engineers, verify data on site and include labels. Then ask each for a sample report and a written quote with a dated timeline.
How much will our study cost?
Cost depends on how many buses are in scope, the highest voltage and the state of your drawings. We do not guess. Send your one-line diagram and site details, and we return a fixed written price within 24 hours. No scope call fee and no obligation to proceed.
Will the field work shut down our plant?
No, not as a rule. Most data collection happens with the gear energized, from outside the enclosures, by engineers in the right PPE. Anything that needs a cover opened is scheduled into your existing outage or turnaround windows, agreed with your team before we arrive on site.
How fast can you start?
Your written quote arrives within 24 hours of your request. Once you accept it, we schedule the site visit around your production calendar and outage windows. The quote itself carries a dated timeline, so you know when field work, the report and the labels will land.
Who reviews and signs off the study?
A US-licensed Professional Engineer reviews every study before it reaches you. The engineer checks the model, the inputs and the results, and confirms the labels match the report. That review is part of the price, not an add-on, on every study we deliver.
Do you install the labels or just print them?
Yes, both. We print durable labels from your study data, supply them, and our field engineers install them on every assessed piece of equipment. The label on the gear and the line in the report always match, which is exactly what an inspector checks first.
Do you work in my state?
Yes. Our field engineers travel to sites in every US state. Multi-site programs get one scope, one schedule and one report format across all locations, which keeps your labels consistent from plant to plant and makes the next review much simpler to run.
