Arc Flash Safety Management vs. Arc Flash Analysis: What’s the Difference?

Arc Flash Safety Management vs. Arc Flash Analysis: What’s the Difference?

September 24, 2026
1. Why This Distinction Matters If you search for “arc flash software,” the results are dominated by power system analysis tools: ETAP, EasyPower, SKM PowerTools, CYME. These are engineering platforms that perform the mathematical calculations behind an arc flash study — short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination, and incident energy calculations per IEEE 1584. These tools […]

Arc Flash Studies Are No Longer Standalone Projects

February 9, 2026
Increasing Program Value by Layering NFPA 70B Activities into Arc Flash Execution Arc flash assessments have traditionally been conducted as focused engineering exercises: collect system data, run analyses, label equipment, and close the project. But the field effort required to perform an Arc Flash Assessment (AFA) represents a far greater opportunity. With NFPA 70B now […]

New Thermography Technology is Transforming Facility Maintenance

February 15, 2025
Infrared (IR) scanning has long been a cornerstone of preventive maintenance, allowing facilities to detect early signs of failure in electrical and mechanical systems. While traditional IR scanning methods have been effective, they have been plagued by labor-intensive processes and significant reporting delays. Now, AI-powered thermography is revolutionizing the field, turning what once took weeks […]
