What is Arc Flash?

Arc flash is an electrical discharge or explosion that comes from a connection through air to ground or another voltage phase in an electrical system. This uncontrolled release of energy leaves its intended path and travels from one conductor to another, causing dangerous heat and light exposure.

What Causes Arc Flash?

Arc flash most commonly occurs due to human error, but non-electrical contact can also cause an incident. Consistency in safety practices and forming good habits on the job is key to preventing arc flash.

For example, a worker may use an uninsulated tool, such as a screwdriver, to perform routine maintenance on a control panel. If the worker mishandles the screwdriver and contacts the electrical ground, the flow of electrical current could jump to the tool, causing a direct release of arc flash.

Distractions or pressure to get the job done quickly can commonly result in operator error. There are also countless environmental factors that cause arc flash:  Excessive dust and debris can result in a faulted electrical path, pulling energy to another conductor. The failure to follow routine equipment maintenance can result in corrosion which leads to conductive surface exposure.  Condensation or any liquid near electrical equipment will spark an arc flash within any level of electrical current.

A majority of environmental factors occur when conductive surfaces are exposed. With many levels of electrical current flowing through the conductors, faulty tool handling, corroding insulation, and potential wear on improper installation will result in a major arc flash.

Arc flash is dangerous due to:

  • Thermal energy
  • Intense light
  • Pressure wave
  • Sound bursts

 

Factors that determine the severity of arc flash include:

  • Temperature
  • Time of a circuit break
  • Distance of hazard from employee
