Arc flash is the term describing an extremely dangerous electrical hazard when uncontrolled current passes between two conductors. When voltage is high enough (over 480V), the intense heat of the arc ...

An electrical arc flash can occur when someone is verifying the presence of voltage, checking the balance of current, operating a switch, inspecting an energized cable or bus connections during ...

Every so often, the electrical industry is able to add to our understanding of what makes a safe, well-designed electrical system. This knowledge can have a profound effect on the way we design, ...

An arc flash occurs due to a phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase short circuit. The extreme heat, light, and pressure blasts associated with these events make it necessary to take precautions when ...

An arc flash is the explosive energy released when an electrical fault causes an arc. This rapid release of energy causes excessive temperatures in addition to air and metal in the path of the arc ...

TPC makes the electrical study more accessible by organizing critical safety information on a mobile platform. (PRWEB) - The leader in industrial skills training now delivers arc flash analysis to ...

In November, OSHA released new arc flash guidance for the first time in almost 20 years. The guidance covered various areas of concern, including low-voltage hazards; PPE and arc-rated (AR) clothing; ...

Schneider Electric’s design prevents arc flash from initiating—the passive system contains line-side arc flash at maximum rated level. Schneider Electric has announced the introduction of its patented ...

Targeting markets with UL-845, CSA or NOM requirements and applications where arc flash is a concern, ABB now offers a low-voltage motor control center including plug ...
