Video Transcript
An arc flash occurs when an electrical charge travels through the air, creating an arching fault between two ungrounded conductors or between ungrounded conductors and the grounded conductors. Loose connections can overheat and cause an arching fault. The introduction of foreign matters can trigger an arc flash. Preventing arc flash incidents begins with equipment and system design that impact the frequency of a current and magnitude of energy release. Proper training for each workplace is a vital part of arc flash prevention.
