When a gas is exposed to a voltage larger than the voltage it can block, electrical arcs develop. When the voltage is high enough to ionize the air between the conductors, the arc begins. When a gas is ionized, it becomes a good conductor, allowing current to flow and generating an “arc flash” of arched-shaped electricity. An arc fault is an unintended electrical discharge.
Arc flash dangers may be catastrophic for businesses and electrical infrastructure. Listed below are some of the business losses resulting from arc flash dangers.
Arc flash risks can arise whenever high-voltage or low-voltage high-current switching occurs.
Step 1: Determine the probability of an arc flash:
Step 2: Respond to the threat
Step 3: Engineer control:
Step 4: Administrative controls:
Step 5: Personal protective equipment (PPE):
