Arc Flash Analysis and Mitigation
An arc flash evaluation is only one portion of the solution. Let experienced engineers at NERX develop arc flash mitigations to reduce the amount of PPE needed for safe live work.

Engineers at NERX are experienced in power system analysis using a variety of software packages: CAPE, ETAP, SKM, Aspen One-Liner. PSS/E, Powerworld, PSCAD, and ATP-EMPT. Short circuit, power flow,motor starting, transformer inrush, transient, and stability studies. We will work around your modeling needs and be a proper custodian of your system models.
Do you have problems with flickering, over or undervoltages, poor regulation, damaged equipment, or needing to mitigate noisy VFDs or other power electronics. Let NERX perform an evaluation to determine the cause of your power quality problems and develop a solution.
Did your protection system operate unexpectedly? Are you unsure of how to determine if there was a misoperation? NERX will perform an evaluation and fulfill your NERC PRC-004 Relay Misoperation Identification and Correction requirements if applicable.
Are you wanting to interconnect generation to the grid but don't know what you need to do to get through the interconnection process? NERX will work with you to develop a plan and oversee that all the needed modeling information is provided to your regional planning body in a timely fashion.
Do you want help with developing a system scope for your power system project? Sizing equipment, system configuration, protection philosophy? NERX will develop a system for your needs.
Are you lost as to what to do to be NERC compliant? Are you unsure of you compliance? Do you need someone to do an audit of you NERC compliance evidence? Do you need a system put in place to provide oversight to maintain compliance? Do you want your compliance work to be useful rather than just meaningless box checking? NERX will develop a solution for your compliance needs.
Are you needing someone to design, set, and implement a protective relaying project? Do you need periodic maintenance done to meet your NERC PRC-005, PRC-011, and PRC-017 requirements? Are you unsure if your protection system will operate as intended? Do you need someone to validate your system? Are you unsure that your system is compliant with changing NERC PRC requirements? Do you need assistance in determining how to coordinate your system with yoru neighbors as part of PRC-027? NERX will perform the necessary development, coordination, analysis, and testing to satisfy your protection needs.
