Arc flashes are a potentially deadly possibility when working with live or damaged equipment. Every year there are around 30,000 arc flash incidents that result in 7,000 burn injuries, 2,000 hospitalizations, and 400 deaths. The most frightening thing about arc blasts is that they can heat up to 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit which is more than three times hotter than the sun! While personal protective equipment should be…
An arc flash is a release of electrical energy from an electrical system that occurs during certain types of arc fault. When the release of electrical energy occurs, an arc travels either from one conductor to another or to ground through the air; it happens quickly and lasts until the circuit is broken, usually by built-in protective mechanisms. When work is performed on live or damaged equipment,…
An arc flash or a flashover is a dangerous instance where there is an electrical explosion or discharge. This happens when energy is released because of an arc fault, and it results in electricity being propelled through the air from one conductor to another. The current often connects to the ground and conducts powerful energy. This discharge could be so powerful that it could claim lives or…
