Arkansas Power Landscape
Every power system study TPS delivers in Arkansas accounts for the utilities, fault duties, and interconnection requirements specific to the state. This is the landscape our Arkansas work sits in.
Arkansas is split across two wholesale grid operators. Most of the state, including Entergy Arkansas territory, sits inside MISO; the western part served by SWEPCO falls under SPP. Industrial and municipal facilities are also served by the Arkansas Electric Cooperatives. The available fault current at a facility service is set by the serving utility, and it shifts when transformers or feeders are upgraded, which is why short-circuit and arc flash studies should be revisited after utility-side work.
Arkansas has no OSHA-approved state plan, so employers in the state answer to federal OSHA. Federal OSHA enforces electrical safety through 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which 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 federal OSHA inspector 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 Arkansas. 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 Arkansas.

Arkansas FAQ
Arkansas has no state OSHA plan, so all employers in the state answer to federal OSHA. Federal OSHA enforces electrical safety through 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which references NFPA 70E for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling.
If workers ever interact with energized equipment, such as troubleshooting, racking breakers, or voltage testing, NFPA 70E calls for an arc flash risk assessment and OSHA 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.
Arkansas is split between MISO (Entergy Arkansas) and SPP (SWEPCO territory in the west). The fault current available at your service depends on which utility and grid area you sit in and changes when equipment is upgraded, so short-circuit and arc flash results should be re-checked after utility-side work.
A power system study used for compliance must be sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Arkansas. True Power Systems holds an active Arkansas PE license and stamps every Arkansas deliverable.
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.
