  35. General Arc Flash warning for employees. Arc Flash warning for employees who work on electrical panels and systems. www.safetyworksmaine.com

  36. Arc Flash What is Arc Flash? The radiant energy and blinding light created by an electric arc passing through air between conductors. Arc temperature can reach 35,000°F, burning skin and igniting clothing at a distance. www.safetyworksmaine.com

  37. Arc Flash • What Causes Arc Flash? • Just coming close to a high-amp source with a conductive object can cause the electricity to flash over. • Dropping a tool or otherwise creating a spark can ignite an arc flash. • Equipment failure due to use of substandard parts, improper installation, or even normal wear and tear. • Breaks or gaps in insulation. • Dust, corrosion or other impurities on the surface of the conductor. www.safetyworksmaine.com

  38. Arc Blast High-energy arcing fault can produce a considerable pressure wave and sound blast.  The intense heat from arc causes the sudden expansion of air, resulting in a blast. A 10,000 A arc at 480 volts is equivalent to 800 MW or approximately 8 stick of dynamite. www.safetyworksmaine.com

  39. Arc blast can cause the following injuries: • Loss of memory or brain function from concussion. • Hearing loss from ruptured eardrums (sound associated with blast can exceed 160 dB.  Sound of jet engine only 145 db) • Shrapnel wounds from metal parts • Other physical injuries from being blown off ladders, into walls, etc. • A 40 Cal. blast will kill a person. www.safetyworksmaine.com
