An arc flash is the explosive release of energy that occurs when there is a phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground arc fault. This arc fault may be the result of unsafe work procedures such as a dropped tool or accidental contact, or by corrosion, insulation failure, conductive dust, contact by animals and other factors. Arc flash is a major safety concern for any application that incorporates high current electrical equipment, and its prevention should be considered from the very beginning of any application design. Rittal’s arc flash products are designed to minimize exposure to energized equipment by allowing for programming, data acquisition and system adjustment without opening the door—keeping arc flash hazards contained within the enclosure and away from possible human error or other variables that can lead to accidents.
