Understanding Arc Flash Hazards
Arc flash hazards pose a significant risk to personnel and equipment in electrical systems. These sudden, intense bursts of energy can cause severe injuries, damage to property, and costly downtime.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), arc flash incidents result in over 2,000 injuries and 100 deaths annually in the United States alone. DEKRA’s arc flash analysis service helps you identify and mitigate these risks, ensuring arc flash prevention, electrical safety and compliance with industry standards.
Arc Flash Safety & Prevention with DEKRA

With on-site guidance from our DEKRA experts as well as specific software, we first calculate the incident energy (EI) in cal/m² as well as the arc flash limits. Then, we analyse the likelihood of arcing in your facility. We also provide a label for each panel and cabinet in all examined installations.
