What is an Arc Flash Incident?
An arc flash is a dangerous event that occurs when electrical current unexpectedly travels through the air between two live conductors. The result is a rapid release of intense energy in the form of heat, light, pressure, and sound—causing potential injury, equipment damage, or even fatalities.
Arc Flash incidents can reach temperatures of up to 35,000°F, causing severe burns, hearing loss, and permanent disabilities. These risks can be minimized with a properly conducted Arc Flash Study, which identifies hazards and ensures employee safety through the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and compliance with safety regulations.
Why Are Arc Flash Studies Critical?
An Arc Flash Study helps you to:
- Protect Employees: Ensure your team is safe by identifying risk areas and providing the right level of PPE.
- Comply with Regulations: Adhere to safety standards like OSHA, NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584, avoiding costly fines.
- Prevent Downtime & Liability: By mitigating the risk of electrical accidents, you reduce potential downtime and costly lawsuits.
- Maintain Safe Operating Distances: Define appropriate approach boundaries to avoid harm during routine electrical maintenance.
