Arc Flash is simply a term used for a short circuit through air that flashes over from one exposed live conductor to another conductor or to the ground. There are many things that cause an arc flash including sparks, over-voltage, insulation failure, dust, corrosion, fumes or vapours and even by an accidental contact by positioning a conductive object too close to a high-amp current. The costs associated with arc flash accidents are extreme; loss of life, horrific injuries like severe burns and damage to eyesight, hearing or the brain. It can also damage valuable equipment and lead to loss of Production time and heavy fines for non-compliance. Under OH&S regulations, employers need to ensure that safeguards are set in place so that accidents such as Arc Flash can be prevented. Brady recommends that you contact your local Workcover authority for more information.
