Single electrode configuration applied to every bus in the facility
Every one of the ~90 rows in the incident energy report carries Electrode Config = VCB. The same facility contains 480 V service switchboards, automatic transfer switches, generator skid breakers, UPS modules, static transfer switches, PDUs, 208 V branch panelboards and dry-type transformer secondaries. Those are not one electrode arrangement. The uniformity is the signature of a global software default that was never revisited per bus.

AI Arc Flash Study Review
Arcing fault current reported higher than bolted fault current at a 0.23 kV bus
One 0.23 kV row reports Bus Bolted Fault = 0.496 kA and Bus Arc Fault = 0.538 kA. Arcing current cannot exceed the bolted fault current at the same location. The row that follows reports 1.708 kA bolted / 1.268 kA arcing, which is the expected ordering, so the anomaly is confined rather than systematic. The result derived from the anomalous row is 2.7 cal/cm² with a 31.5 in boundary.

AI Arc Flash Study Review
The study states its own results and labels are not valid
Results and Recommendations, verbatim: "the incident energy levels shown in both this report and on the arc flash labels are not valid until the recommended protective device setting changes shown in this report are implemented." The settings report header confirms the case: Scenario: RECOMMENDED. This is a submittal for approval carrying a complete incident energy table and a complete label set, every value of which describes a system state that did not exist when the study was issued and may never have been created.

AI Arc Flash Study Review
A 37-second trip time is truncated to a 2-second arc time
The 0.23 kV auxiliary rows report Trip Time = 37.087 s and Trip Time = 6.681 s, with Arc Time set to 2 in both cases. The stated basis is that arcing time is limited to two seconds. A two-second cap is an assumption that a worker can move out of the arc within two seconds. The study applies it without evaluating the specific work position, which in this case is inside a wind turbine nacelle or tower base, where egress is constrained by definition.

Pricing
Every price is shown and locked before you upload anything.
No quotes, no sales calls, no "contact us" below the enterprise threshold — including for expert review. Every product sells Automated or Expert-reviewed at a fixed, published price; a licensed P.E. reading your findings is a checkout, not a phone call. Four of the six products also cap at one flat price on large jobs, no overage.

Common questions
- What is Arc Flash Files?
- Six AI review products for electrical documents. You upload one document — an arc flash study, a drawing set, a label schedule, protective device settings, a Method of Procedure, or an online partial discharge report — and get back a structured findings report, each finding traceable to a page in your own document. The price for every tier is published, and there is no quote step and no sales call.
- Who wrote the checklists the reviews run against?
- Jay R. Prigmore II, Ph.D., P.E. — a Ph.D. electrical power engineer holding twelve state professional engineering licenses, a voting member of the IEEE 1584 working group that writes the arc flash calculation standard, and a founding member of the NFPA technical committee on electrical inspection practices. The 263 checks across the six products are original prose describing what to look for; no copyrighted IEEE, NFPA, or NEC text is bundled into this platform.
- Is the review performed by a licensed engineer?
- On the automated lane, no — a four-pass software pipeline runs the checklist a licensed P.E. wrote, and findings then pass through a human queue where each is approved, edited, or removed before release. Two products also sell an expert lane, where a Ph.D., P.E. reads every finding personally. Neither lane is a stamped or sealed engineering deliverable.
- Can I use a report from this site to satisfy an inspector or seal a study?
- No. Every product here is an automated preliminary screening. It is not a stamped engineering review, not a determination of code compliance by any Authority Having Jurisdiction, and not a substitute for the Engineer of Record. Absence of a finding is never evidence of compliance.
- What does it cost, and do I have to talk to anyone?
- Prices start at $99 and every tier is published on the pricing page and locked before you upload anything. Support is email only — no phone line, no live chat, no booking calendar. Expert review is a checkout, not a phone call.
- What happens to the documents I upload?
- Every file is scanned for malware before anything else reads it, and all source documents are deleted automatically 30 days after your job completes — or sooner, on request, from your portal.
