RE: Arc Flash Calculation
Learn its principal. Review IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E. You will have to buy them. Attend one or two seminars. One offered by Univeristy of Wisconsin in MD was excellent in June 2006. Check their web site.
Softwares such as SKM have arc flash modules, but you need to learn how they work and what they calculate.

Now if your business is field service at multiple site locations then you may want to learn some easier ways but you will end up wearing extra protection due to the conservatism of those methods.
We provide arc flash analysis and NFPA 70E compliance seminars, so do others but do your resarch before attending, some courses are just meant to sell a product.

RE: Arc Flash Calculation
If you need this done soon, then you're best off to call in a consultant that does these on a regular basis. If you have a couple / few months, then perhaps you could buy the codes and go to some seminars. Arc Flash analysis can be quite involved. A proper Arc Flash analysis won't only tell you what your category is for each piece of equipment in question, but it will also give you solutions to reduce your Arc Flash risk category in areas where it is high.

It is a different matter that once agreeing to perform a design, the design professional is liable for his part.
