Arc flash is a type of electrical explosion or discharge that results from a connection through air to ground or another voltage phase in an electrical system.
Have you considered the potentially devastating effects of an electric arc flash?

Reminder: Most incidents in electrical work occur because the equipment is thought to be dead, or known to be live but those involved do not have adequate training, appropriate equipment, or have not taken adequate precautions ⤵️

Heads-up: The incident heat energy in an electric arc is determined by arc current and duration, the distance between the worker and the arc, and the configuration of the conductors and the surrounding environment. #arcflash

When serious injury or death occurs whilst working on electrical equipment, electrocution can be the first thing that comes to mind. However, the blast and thermal energy from an arc flash may be equally relevant. #arcflash#electricalsafety
