Power System Studies Available in Maryland

All studies are performed by a licensed Professional Engineer, delivered with PE stamp, and compliant with NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.335 requirements.

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

NFPA 70E compliant arc flash studies with IEEE 1584-2018 calculations, equipment labeling, and PPE recommendations. Required for any Maryland facility where energized electrical work is performed.

NFPA 70E · IEEE 1584 · OSHA

Short-Circuit Studies

Fault current calculations to verify equipment interrupting ratings are adequate. Required when adding new equipment, upgrading service, or when utility fault current levels have changed.

ANSI/IEEE · NFPA 70 NEC

Coordination Studies

Time-current curve analysis to ensure protective devices operate in the correct sequence. Critical for facilities with multiple sources, generators, or complex distribution systems.

IEEE 242 · NFPA 70

Harmonic Analysis

Power quality studies for facilities with VFDs, motor controls, or non-linear loads. Essential for Maryland wastewater treatment plants, manufacturing facilities, and data centers.

IEEE 519 · IEEE 1159

Load Flow Analysis

Steady-state power flow studies to identify voltage regulation issues and verify equipment loading. Critical for planning electrical infrastructure expansions and additions.

IEEE 399

Duct Bank Heat Studies

Cable ampacity calculations for underground duct banks using CYMCAP, required for large commercial developments, utilities, and medium-voltage underground distribution projects in Maryland.

Maryland Power Landscape

The Grid We Engineer For in Maryland

Every power system study TPS delivers in Maryland accounts for the utilities, fault duties, and interconnection requirements specific to the state. This is the landscape our Maryland work sits in.

Maryland sits inside PJM Interconnection, the largest wholesale grid operator in North America, and the state is served by BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, Potomac Edison, SMECO, and the Choptank Electric Cooperative on the Eastern Shore. The available fault current at any facility service is set by the serving utility and can shift when that utility upgrades transformers, ties, or substations, which is why short-circuit and arc flash studies should be revisited after any utility-side work.

Maryland operates an OSHA-approved state plan: MOSH (Maryland Occupational Safety and Health), administered by the Maryland Department of Labor, covers both private-sector and state/local government employers. MOSH enforces electrical safety under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and treats NFPA 70E as the consensus standard for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling. A current, PE-sealed arc flash study is the documentation a MOSH compliance officer or an insurance auditor expects to see.

The authority having jurisdiction for the installation itself is typically the local or county electrical inspection office enforcing the National Electrical Code as adopted in Maryland. Every study True Power Systems delivers in the state is modeled to current IEEE and NFPA methodology and sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Maryland.

Maryland FAQ

Maryland Power System Study Questions

Who enforces arc flash compliance for Maryland facilities?

Maryland operates a state OSHA plan — MOSH, administered by the Maryland Department of Labor — covering both private-sector and public-sector employers. MOSH enforces electrical safety through 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which references NFPA 70E for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling.

Does my Maryland facility need an arc flash study?

If workers ever interact with energized equipment — troubleshooting, racking breakers, voltage testing — NFPA 70E calls for an arc flash risk assessment and MOSH expects equipment to carry incident-energy labels. New equipment, a service upgrade, or a change in utility fault current all trigger a new or updated study.

How does Maryland's grid affect my power system study?

Maryland sits inside PJM Interconnection, with facilities served by BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, Potomac Edison, SMECO, and Choptank. The fault current available at your service comes from the utility and changes when the utility upgrades equipment, so short-circuit and arc flash results should be re-checked after utility-side work.

Who can seal a power system study in Maryland?

A power system study used for compliance must be sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Maryland. True Power Systems holds an active Maryland PE license and stamps every Maryland deliverable.

What does a Maryland power system study include?

A complete package covers incident-energy calculations and arc flash boundaries, ANSI Z535 equipment labels, short-circuit and equipment-duty evaluation, protective-device coordination, an as-studied one-line diagram, and a PE-sealed report.
