According to NFPA 70E, what is the purpose of shock flash risk assessments and arc flash risk assessments?
NFPA 70E Section 130.4 requires that a shock risk assessment be performed before beginning energized work, and NFPA 70E Section 130.5 requires that an arc flash risk study and assessment be performed to:

Determine whether an arc flash hazard exists

If a hazard exists, determine:

The appropriate safety-related work practices

The arc flash boundary

The correct PPE to be worn
What is arc flash analysis?
What is NERC Compliance?
NERC stands for North American Electric Reliability Corporation. Every entity must register with NERC through its regional entity. Grids are becoming more complex. New technologies are expanding. As such, NERC is aggressively enforcing existing and introducing new requirements. They are also adjusting the frequency of compliance reporting. By federal law, NERC is authorized to monitor and assess company compliance status. They can also issue sanctions and/or fines for non-compliance.
What is a short circuit study or short circuit analysis?
What is NERC Compliance Testing?
When does an arc flash occur?
What is testing and commissioning?
Elliot Engineering provides unparalleled testing and commissioning services that promote long-term, efficient operation of electrical power equipment. No matter your power system size or age, proper equipment maintenance is essential to maximize power system reliability.

Proper maintenance isn’t just testing; power system owners need a good inspection, maintenance, testing, and periodic equipment rating evaluation for a true comprehensive maintenance program.

Elliot Engineering’s knowledge base of electric power systems analysis, design, construction, and operation enables us to provide you with the development and implementation of a comprehensive maintenance program that meets NFPA 70E requirements to suit your needs both today and tomorrow.
What is relay testing?
Relay testing services include: Electromechanical & Solid State, Microprocessor, End To End Testing, Fault Simulations, Protection System Evaluation, IEC 61850 Compliant Testing, NERC Compliance Testing.

What is power systems engineering?
Power system analysis engineering software is an excellent tool for studying power systems but should not be used as a substitute for knowledge and experience. Elliot Engineering utilizes many commercially available software packages and backs those tools with some of the most experienced individuals in the industry, across several applications. We would appreciate an opportunity to demonstrate our analysis proficiencies with your next project.
