An arc flash is a sudden discharge of energy, connecting a component with the ground or another voltage phase in the same system through the air. This discharge can result from loose connections, ...

A few years ago, the term “arc flash” crept into our electrical technical vocabulary. Since that time, performing arc flash calculations remains a challenge for many of us. Calculating incident energy ...

We’re all thinking about power – whether it’s having enough of it, delivering it where it’s needed, or building the right infrastructure to scale faster, denser, and smarter in the age of artificial ...

Arc flash is defined as an explosive release of energy caused by an electrical arc. Typically, the arc results from either a phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase fault created by many possible events.

Standards and regulations may change, but the danger associated with arc flash hazards remains. Analyzing potential incident energy correctly and understanding what personal protection equipment is ...

Arc flashes present a serious hazard involving electrical equipment that is more common than many would believe. Due to OSHA’s reporting requirements for arc ...

Every day, an estimated five to 10 arc flash incidents occur and more than 2,000 people are hospitalized each year, according to The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). With arc flash and ...

Twelve years ago, August 12 started just like any other morning for electrical contractor Donnie Johnson. Except for one thing: Tampa, Florida, the city where he lived and worked, was bracing for ...
