SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generic AI-generated arc-flash paperwork is routinely rejected by regulators: it uses vague equipment descriptions, defaults to PPE as the primary control, lacks valid de-energization justifications, invents fault current and clearing time parameters, and leaks sensitive worker health and incident data. This skill eliminates those failures by enforcing a de-energize-first hierarchy of controls, requiring computed (not narrated) incident energy metrics, and mandating strict de-identification of all personal and health data before any output is produced.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • De-energize-first hierarchy enforcement: Records an electrically safe work condition (per NFPA 70E Article 120) before any PPE selection, and rejects convenience-only energized work justifications that fail OSHA 1910.333(a)(2) or EAWR reg 14 requirements.
  • Deterministic IEEE 1584-2018 computation: Generates accurate incident energy, arc-flash boundary, and PPE category values via a dedicated engine, with no invented parameters — missing inputs are flagged as [GAP] and a short-circuit study is requested instead.
  • Regulatory-compliant, de-identified outputs: Produces NFPA 70E 130.5(H) arc-flash labels, full risk assessments, and role-labelled incident context with no leaked personal data, aligned with NFPA 70E (2024), IEEE 1584-2018, OSHA, EAWR, and India CEA/state electricity rules.
  • Use Case: An electrical safety lead needs a defensible arc-flash assessment for a 480 V motor control centre at their substation, including a valid de-energization decision, computed incident energy values, and compliant label content for regulator review.

Quick Start

Use the arc-flash-assessment skill to produce a compliant arc-flash risk assessment for your named electrical equipment, providing the exact equipment details, de-energization decision, and IEEE 1584 electrical parameters when prompted.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I produce an NFPA 70E compliant arc-flash assessment for a motor control centre?

To produce an NFPA 70E compliant arc-flash assessment, enforce a de-energize-first hierarchy of controls, compute incident energy metrics deterministically via IEEE 1584-2018, and generate de-identified risk assessments and labels for your motor control centre.

Why does my arc-flash risk assessment get rejected by regulators?

Arc-flash risk assessments are rejected for defaulting to PPE as the primary control, lacking valid de-energization justifications, using vague equipment descriptions, or inventing fault current parameters instead of computing incident energy values.

How do I calculate incident energy and arc-flash boundaries using IEEE 1584-2018?

Calculate incident energy and arc-flash boundaries deterministically using a dedicated engine that applies IEEE 1584-2018, flags missing inputs as gaps, and requests a short-circuit study instead of inventing fault current or clearing time parameters.

Can I perform an arc-flash study if I don't have complete fault current and clearing time data?

You cannot perform a compliant arc-flash study with incomplete data; missing fault current and clearing time parameters are flagged as gaps, and the skill requests a valid short-circuit study to compute accurate incident energy and PPE categories.

What is the de-energize-first hierarchy of controls for electrical safety?

The de-energize-first hierarchy of controls requires establishing an electrically safe work condition per NFPA 70E Article 120 before any PPE selection, rejecting convenience-only energized work justifications that fail OSHA or EAWR requirements.

Do arc-flash assessments need to de-identify worker health and incident data?

Arc-flash assessments must strictly de-identify all personal, health, and incident data before producing any output, ensuring regulatory-compliant risk assessments and role-labelled incident context with no leaked sensitive worker information.
