Arc Flash and Electrical Safety

An arc flash is a type of electrical explosion that occurs when an electric current leaves its intended path and travels through the air between conductors or between a conductor and the ground. This can happen when there is a fault in the electrical system, such as a short circuit or a broken wire. The intense heat and pressure created by an arc flash can cause damage to equipment, severe burns and even death. Electrical safety is the practice of protecting people and property from hazards related to the use of electrical energy. It includes a range of activities and measures that are put in place to reduce the risk of electrical fires, shocks and electrocution.
