Arc Flash Safety Analysis

※ What is arc flash?

Arc flash is defined as an arc that occurs when an electric current flows between two or more separated live conductor surfaces. When an electrical fault or short circuit occurs, current flows through the gap and an arc flash occurs.

※ Occurrence and hazards of arc flash:

When an arc flash occurs, a large amount of energy can be released. Arc flash temperatures can reach as high as 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit, even hotter than the surface of the sun. Extremely high temperatures can ignite clothing and severely burn human skin within a second. It can also ignite any nearby flammable material to cause a fire; it can also melt metal parts such as copper, aluminum conductors, or nearby steel equipment parts.

It can also cause explosions and pressure shock waves, resulting in temporary or permanent hearing loss. The accompanying bright light may cause temporary or permanent blindness. And arc flash can cause equipment damage, as well as personal injury and possibly death.
