ThomasPE, CEM, CEA, CHC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project\u2019s scope of work will include a comprehensive Arc Flash Study and analysis of the primary electrical service and distribution system for most of the TxDOT facilities around the state. As part of this project, LAN will provide reports of findings and recommendations for corrective actions necessary to bring the facilities into compliance with current OSHA, NFPA and NEC standards. In the past, TxDOT has used this information to implement LAN\u2019s recommendations. These recommendations include improvements to lower potential arc-flash incident energy levels, replace aged equipment and alert TxDOT of conditions of imminent failure. The improvements occur mainly when a facility does not have a discrete disconnecting means between a transformer and distribution panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a discrete disconnect, the distribution panel may have dangerous potential energy requiring a higher degree of protection than needed when a disconnect is provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Houston, Texas) Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam, Inc.
