Electrical Safety Engineering

Electrical Safety Analysis with Real Industrial Context

Exikom approaches Arc Flash studies as part of a broader industrial engineering practice. With long-standing experience in automation, electrical systems, modernization, and technical support, our team understands both legacy installations and modern industrial platforms.

This matters because electrical safety cannot be assessed in isolation from the way a facility actually operates. We help customers evaluate risk in the context of real system behavior, support the reliable operation of existing assets, and contribute to future modernization decisions. As a result, our Arc Flash expertise delivers more than calculations — it is backed by wider engineering competence across industrial power and automation systems.

Regulatory compliance

When Arc Flash Studies Are Required in the EU

In many industrial environments across Europe, electrical safety assessments are required as part of risk management and regulatory compliance. European safety frameworks aligned with IEC and EN standards increasingly require proper electrical risk analysis.

Studies are typically performed when:

  • Designing or upgrading industrial power systems
  • Commissioning new electrical installations
  • Modernizing switchgear and protection systems
  • Performing electrical safety risk assessments
  • Complying with workplace safety regulations
  • Supporting insurance and safety documentation
