Power Studies: Ensuring Safe and Efficient Electrical Systems

At Electric Service & Repair, we specialize in comprehensive power studies to help businesses, industrial facilities, and commercial properties maintain safe, reliable, and efficient electrical systems. Power studies are essential for preventing electrical failures, optimizing energy use, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Whether you’re experiencing power quality issues, planning an expansion, or seeking to improve system efficiency, our expert engineers provide in-depth analysis and actionable solutions.

What Are Power Studies?

Power studies, also known as electrical system studies or power system analysis, involve assessing an electrical network’s performance, reliability, and safety. Using advanced software and diagnostic tools, we analyze power flow, short-circuit conditions, voltage stability, and potential hazards within your electrical system. These studies help identify areas of inefficiency, mitigate risks, and enhance overall system performance.

Types of Power Studies We Offer

Load Flow Analysis

• Evaluates voltage levels, power distribution, and load conditions.
• Ensures the system operates within safe voltage and current limits.
• Helps optimize power factor and reduce energy losses.

Short Circuit Study

• Determines potential fault currents in the system.
• Ensures protective devices (breakers, fuses) are correctly rated.
• Prevents equipment damage and electrical hazards.

Coordination & Arc Flash Studies

• Analyzes circuit protection to prevent unnecessary downtime.
• Ensures proper breaker and fuse coordination for selective fault isolation.
• Determines arc flash hazards and provides safety labels per NFPA 70E standards.

Harmonic Analysis

• Identifies power quality issues caused by nonlinear loads (VFDs, UPS systems, electronic devices).
• Recommends solutions to reduce harmonic distortion and improve efficiency.

Transient Stability Study

• Evaluates system behavior under sudden changes like motor starts, load shedding, or generator faults.
• Helps maintain grid stability and prevent cascading failures.

Grounding & Bonding Study

• Ensures proper grounding to prevent shock hazards and equipment damage.
• Meets NEC and IEEE grounding requirements.

Why Power Studies Are Essential

Enhance Safety – Prevent electrical fires, shock hazards, and system failures.

Improve Reliability – Reduce unplanned downtime and equipment failures.

Optimize Energy Efficiency – Lower operational costs by identifying energy waste.

Ensure Code Compliance – Meet NFPA, IEEE, NEC, and OSHA safety standards.

Support System Expansion – Properly plan for new loads, generators, or facility upgrades.
