New York operates its own wholesale grid, NYISO (the New York Independent System Operator), one of seven RTOs/ISOs in North America. The state is served by Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, Rochester Gas & Electric, Orange & Rockland, Central Hudson, PSEG Long Island, and the New York Power Authority. 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.
New York does NOT operate a state OSHA plan for private-sector employers. Private workplaces in the state are covered by federal OSHA, which enforces electrical safety through 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and treats NFPA 70E as the consensus standard for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling. State and local government employees are covered separately by the New York Public Employee Safety and Health (PESH) program. A current, PE-sealed arc flash study is the documentation a federal OSHA or PESH inspector or an insurance auditor expects to see.
The authority having jurisdiction for the installation varies by locality. In New York City the Department of Buildings (DOB) enforces the NYC Electrical Code; outside NYC, the AHJ is typically the local or county electrical inspection office enforcing the National Electrical Code as adopted in New York. 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 New York.
