Sources of arc flash hazards white paper

Common sources of arc flash hazards in power systems

Buildings equipped with even the best switchgear equipment are still at risk from an arc flash occurring; where the release of high incident energy poses a risk to personal safety and to the ongoing continuity of the business.

The EU directive 89/391/EEC requires that employers need to evaluate the arc flash risk and to take the necessary preventative safety measures. It is therefore the responsibility of the businesses to understand and manage the electrical safety of the building in which it operates. This white paper outlines the common sources of arc flash hazards in low voltage switchgear.

Learn about a few scenarios typically found in industrial facilities that can yield high arc flash incident energy levels. Identification of the potential scenarios enables organisations to manage these risks.
