9. Arc Flashes
9
• Mainly occur in electrical devices that are
480 volt and up.
• Motor control centers and substations are a
great source of faults.

10. Arc Flash Explosion
10
• Vaporized metal and ionized • – Forms the arc path through air
air: • – Expands to form blast wave
• Temperatures reach 35,000°F+
• Energy levels can reach 20-100
Cal/cm2
• Duration is less than 7/10ths of
a second
• Proportional to energy and
distance.

11. Damages from Arc Flash
11
• High temperatures burns to skin
• Melting of synthetic clothing to skin
• UV and IR burns to eyes and skin
• Temporary or permanent blindness
• Pressure Wave can knock you down
• Decibel can reach 160 DB
• Neurological effect of a magnetic field
• Temporary or permanent personality changes
