        "text": "While both are crucial for electrical safety, electrical coordination focuses on minimizing outages and equipment damage by selecting appropriate protective devices and their settings. An arc flash study, conversely, calculates the potential incident energy of an arc flash event to determine safe working distances and proper personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. We often recommend both studies for comprehensive electrical safety in commercial and industrial settings across the East Bay, as they address different, but complementary, safety aspects.",
