What Does an Arc Flash Study Cost?
Arc flash and power systems studies are priced by device count, number of services, and site count — never hourly. Estimate a range below, then get a written fixed-fee proposal.
Switchboards, panelboards, MCCs, transformer secondaries, bus ducts — the equipment that gets a label. Not individual branch breakers.
Travel affects mobilization cost.
- Field data collection by our engineers
- IEEE 1584 incident energy analysis
- PE-sealed report and updated one-line diagrams
- Arc flash labels for every piece of equipment in scope
A budgetary range only. Your written fixed-fee proposal comes after a no-cost scoping call — device count and site specifics can move the number.
Your written proposal is a fixed fee. Scope changes are only by mutual agreement — no surprise change orders.
For perspective, a single serious OSHA violation carries penalties starting around $16,000.
Rates shown are indicative and calibrated during scoping.
What drives the fee
The single biggest factor is the number of protective devices we model — every breaker, fuse, MCC bucket, disconnect, and transformer becomes a node in your system model. More devices means more field data and more analysis.
Multiple sites add mobilization; multiple studies on the same model cost far less together than separately, because we build the model once and reuse it. If you already have an SKM model, we validate and update it rather than starting over — usually a meaningful discount.
Expedited schedules are available when a shutdown or inspection date is driving the work.
