FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Arc Flash Study?

An arc flash study is a comprehensive assessment of potential electrical hazards in a workplace, evaluating risks like arc flash incidents. It helps identify danger zones, assesses incident energy levels, and recommends safety measures to protect employees and equipment.

An arc flash is an ignited bridge of electricity between two electrodes, usually during a fault or short circuit condition, which releases thermal heat, toxic fumes, pressure, blinding light, and sound waves.

Arc flash temperatures can reach as high as 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit—almost 4 times the temperature of the surface of the sun.

Due to the force of the explosion and the intense heat, burns, concussions, collapsed lungs, hearing loss, shrapnel injuries, and broken bones are common. Death can and does occur, as well.
For a data center, electric, industrial or chemical plant, it can mean the loss of millions of dollars of man-hours, lawsuits, fines, equipment damage, and facility downtime.

There are a variety of reasons why an arc flash can occur, but most of them are human error and preventable. From maintenance workers manipulating live electrical equipment for testing, to accidentally causing a short circuit, improperly trained contractors are the number one culprit. But it’s up to you and your facility managers to clean up the devastation that can occur as a result of an arc flash.

While wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and clothing can protect a worker in some cases, in most instances, PPE is a last line of defense. The force of an arc blast can knock workers off elevated platforms, blow doors off hinges, and throw shrapnel across a room, for which PPE provides little protection.
