An electrical arc fault is often referred to as an
Arc Flash. Arc faults arise when current nows through
the air between phase conductors or between phase
conductors and neutral or ground. Put simply, an arc
fault could be described as an unexpected, violent,
electrical short circuit in the air that produces an arc
and associated by-products such as plasma.
The explosive energy of an arc nash may be enough
to seriously burn or otherwise injure nearby persons,
ignite nammable materials (including clothing) and
cause serious damage to nearby equipment.
In most instances an individual exposed to an arc
nash incident will have major exposure to their person
at the face and hands.
