Optimize Performance With Electrical Engineering Studies

Professional electrical engineering studies provide the technical documentation required to meet federal and industry-specific safety mandates. OSHA 1910.132 requires employers to assess workplace electrical hazards and verify that assessment through written certification.

NFPA 70E further mandates that arc flash risk assessments be reviewed every five years or whenever major system modifications occur. Failure to maintain current documentation exposes organizations to significant penalties and liability.

Beyond regulatory compliance, electrical system studies identify aging infrastructure vulnerabilities before they trigger unplanned outages. Overloaded transformers, improperly sized conductors and outdated protective device settings create cascading failure risks that interrupt production and compromise safety.

Engineering analysis also validates system capacity during facility expansions, ensuring new loads integrate seamlessly without requiring premature equipment upgrades or introducing dangerous overload conditions.

Critical Analysis Services We Offer

Our engineering team performs the full spectrum of studies required to design, operate and maintain safe electrical systems:

• Arc flash analysis: Calculate incident energy levels at every piece of equipment to determine appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) levels and generate compliant warning labels. Our studies follow IEEE 1584-2018 calculation methods to provide accurate hazard classifications.

• Protective device coordination: Determine optimal relay and breaker settings to isolate faults instantly while keeping power flowing to unaffected areas. Proper coordination minimizes downtime by restricting outages to the smallest possible zones.

• Short circuit studies: Verify that switchgear, breakers and conductors can withstand available fault currents without failure. This analysis prevents equipment destruction during surge events.

• Load flow analysis: Model steady-state voltage profiles, transformer loading and power factor across your distribution system to optimize efficiency and identify overload risks.

Power Quality Measurement and Analysis

Hidden power quality issues degrade equipment performance and shorten asset lifespans long before failures become visible. Voltage sags, swells and transients disrupt sensitive automation systems and trip nuisance breakers, creating productivity losses that accumulate over time.

Our power quality measurement and analysis services diagnose these problems at their source. We deploy monitoring equipment to capture real-time disturbances, then perform power systems harmonics analysis to quantify distortion caused by variable frequency drives, LED lighting and other nonlinear loads.

Based on diagnostic results, we design targeted corrective actions, such as harmonic filters, isolation transformers or power conditioning equipment, to restore clean, stable voltage.

The NETA-Accredited Advantage

Power Solutions Group maintains accreditation through the InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA), the industry's highest standard for electrical testing and commissioning.

NETA accreditation guarantees unbiased, third-party analysis free from equipment manufacturing conflicts of interest. Our engineers cross-reference software models against actual field measurements to ensure superior accuracy.

Unlike firms that only deliver reports, we provide concept-to-commissioning support. Our field technicians implement the relay settings, breaker calibrations and equipment modifications specified in engineering studies, ensuring seamless transition from analysis to action. This integrated approach eliminates coordination gaps and accelerates project timelines. Learn more about our comprehensive substation engineering capabilities.
