When gas is exposed to voltages higher than its insulating properties, arcing can occur. An arc is formed when the voltage is sufficient to ionize the air between the conductors. Ionized air becomes an excellent conductor and conducts electricity. The ionization of the air creates electrical currents that produce heat and blinding light. This heat causes the ionized air to rise, creating an arcing flow, hence the name of the phenomenon. Arc flash can produce temperatures up to 20,000 degrees Celsius.
Electrical arc hazards endanger people and property. Commercial effects of arc flash include:
Minimize potential hazards as much as possible. Avoid working with equipment in service and take unusual care when testing or reconnecting equipment. The circuit breaker is kept away from arc boundaries that could threaten the operator using remote tracking technology.
Arc analysis and power system surveys are performed to detect hazards associated with short circuits and protective device adjustments. Leverage low-threat solutions such as: B. Remote rack equipment for protecting people and property.
Ensure access to PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required for Arc Flash Hazard Category. Technical equipment and procedures have been modified to reduce hazards. The circuit breaker and distribution system are designed to limit incident energy.
The non-current limiting circuit breaker helps the industry reduce the available fault current. These devices can be used with an open connection for maintenance. Opening a connection between two power supplies during maintenance reduces the available fault current and thus reduces the threat of arc flash. A current limiting reactor can be used to create a bottleneck in current flow, effectively preventing current flow during an arc fault.
Accelerate Arc Resistant Materials. Arc-resistant switchgear uses sealed connections, top pressure relief vents, and reinforced hinges to channel arc energy and heat into open areas. CareLabs perform extensive arc flash analysis. Arc flash hazards are assessed by experts to update safety programs. CareLabs can find and implement the latest strategies to avoid arc flash risks.
CareLabs can research and implement cutting-edge technology to reduce arc flash risk. The Nursing Institute uses ETAP software for research and analysis. We employ crews in multiple locations to ensure that our knowledge is available on a regular and emergency basis. We quickly became ISO 9001:2008 certified and have a loyal customer base, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Samut Prakan, Udon Thani, and Nonthaburi are cities in Thailand.
