What is Electrical Safety Audit?
Electrical Safety Audits — our custom-made service focusing on finding overall electrical safety violations and non-compliance. It is an online meeting, site audit visit and summary findings report containing:
- existing documentation review
- required documentation compliance (local and corporate)
- electrical safety plan check
- electrical documentation/diagrams review
By understanding what is missing, we can focus what to do next. Site visit will reveal further details like:
- electrical system (visual check)
- up-to-date electrical diagrams
- installation problems
- administration, trainings, PPE etc.
- more…

Why do I need it?
LV&MV Substation Audit allows to look at your electrical substation from helicopter perspective. Typical outcome allows you to:- work on immediate electrical safety issues (with our list)
- plan long term actions and budget
- avoid spending your money in wrong place
- work with our recommendations list
- identify need for Arc Flash Risk Assessment
- identify need for other Power System Studies
When do I need it?
Every time is the best time to start. If you ask yourself such questions, then get in touch:- What supply this panel?
- Who should sign this Permit to Work?
- Where are electrical maintenance records?
- How did we set up this protection settings?
- Are my electricians, maintenance engineers aware about electrical hazards?
- Where is my dog? (no, we can't help this, but we can try 😉)
What is Substation Safety Audit?
LV&MV Substation Audit — this is our internal-built checklist based LV and MV substation audit up to 36kV. It is a long list of things to check and verify from areas of:
- electrical safety issues
- required documentation
- design requirements (IEC61439 and IEC 62271 based)
- PPE requirements and substation safety equipment
- procedures / electrical safety plan
By understanding what is missing, we can focus what to do next. It will help you to decide about:
- upgrade substation
- update electrical safety plan
- update trainings scope
- replace old equipment
- identify PPE issues

Why do I need it?
Simple answer is to design properly electrical installation and avoid catastrophic equipment failures and fault conditions. Once we have fault current values, we can :- size electrical cables
- size electrical switchgears, panel boards, MCC's…
- size circuit breakers against short circuit currents
- adjust properly protective device settings
- allows us to verify existing equipment short circuit ratings
- allows to perform Arc Flash Risk Assessment
When do I need it?
Even tomorrow. If you ask yourself such questions, then get in touch:- Is my switchgear rated properly against short circuit current?
- When was the last maintenance?
- When was the last electrical measurement?
- When we tested protection relay or main breakers?
- Is it safe to switch it?
- Why I have 1kV fire extinguisher in 10kV room?
FAQ
AFRA identifies arc flash incident energy levels across your installation using global standards (e.g. IEEE 1584, NFPA 70E or DGUV203-077). It is often a direct or indirect legal requirement in the EU, and it protects people, guides correct PPE selection, and can influence design decisions before you invest in new equipment.
A Short Circuit Study is a required input for the Arc Flash Study — it provides the fault current data the arc flash calculations are built on. You generally can’t get accurate arc flash results without it. While Short Circuit study determines the fault currents on the system, arc flash study calculates the thermal energy released during arc faults.
It is a custom service combining an online meeting, an on-site audit visit, and a summary findings report highlighting safety violations and non-compliance. From there, we help our clients prioritize what to fix first and identify if further studies are needed.
It‘ is a broader, “helicopter view” assessment of your substation — helping to understand its overall condition, spot immediate electrical safety issues, and plan for corrective actions and follow-up power system studies if required.
Yes. We offer both standard and customer-specific training programs (including e-learning), covering topics such as NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, and EN 50110 requirements, adapted to your region and internal policies. What is EHRA Electrical Hazard Risk Assessment? It is audit process to verify and identify electrical issues in your electrical installation, checklist style review of equipment conditions, documentation review, LOTO procedures and more.
