Michigan Power Landscape
Every power system study TPS delivers in Michigan accounts for the utilities, fault duties, and interconnection requirements specific to the state. This is the landscape our Michigan work sits in.
Michigan sits inside MISO, the regional transmission operator that coordinates the wholesale grid, with the state served primarily by DTE Energy in the southeast, Consumers Energy across the Lower Peninsula, Indiana Michigan Power in the southwest, and Upper Peninsula Power Company in the UP, plus a network of 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.
Michigan operates its own OSHA-approved state plan, MIOSHA, which covers both private-sector and public-sector employers. MIOSHA adopts the federal electrical safety standards in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which treat 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 MIOSHA inspector or an insurance auditor expects to see.
The authority having jurisdiction for the installation itself is typically the local electrical inspection office enforcing the National Electrical Code as adopted in Michigan. 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 Michigan.

Michigan FAQ
Michigan runs its own OSHA-approved state plan, MIOSHA, which covers both private and public employers. MIOSHA enforces the federal electrical safety rules in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which reference 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.
Michigan is in MISO and served primarily by DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, Indiana Michigan Power, UPPCO, and electric cooperatives. The fault current available at your service comes from the serving utility and changes when it upgrades equipment, 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 Michigan. True Power Systems holds an active Michigan PE license and stamps every Michigan 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.
