The data center market in Indonesia is expanding voraciously at a CAGR of 11%. To whom can we attribute this growth? No one else, but the rising middle class in Indonesia is driving this growth. With a promising market ahead, the government of Indonesia is doing its part in promoting and protecting the data with many regulations and initiatives. Necessarily, it comes down to a data center operator’s responsibility to safeguard their system from potential risks, including Arc Flashes. 

Carelabs has it all! Technology, intellect support, and global presence to help data centers in Indonesia to safeguard them against Arc Flashes and other electric faults.  

Why do you think Arc Flashes are the most risky hazards in an electrical system, especially in  Data centers? Many arguments are there that prove that Arc Flashes are extremely dangerous, and need constant monitoring like 

• Blinding light and heat in the range of 19,426°C are emitted during an Arc Flash incident. This can cause serious damage to the system and the workers. 
• Arc Flashes are accompanied by exceptional sounds above 140dB, and incredible blasts containing molten metal, and other debris. 
• When personnel come in direct contact with an arc, they may be subject to electric shocks. 
• Data centers use heavy-duty electrical installations and switchgear that can increase the severity of the hazard. 
• In addition to equipment and facilities damage, the chances of multiple casualties are also high. 

Nonetheless, the utmost dread with Arc flashes is its unpredictability element. The reasons for Arc Flashes can be many from short circuits to human error, and defects in installations. However, detecting the faults that can cause Arc Flashes requires detailed study and analysis.
