Arc Flash Potential Hazardous Tasks - LV-HV equipment testing, visual and IR (infrared) inspections, manipulation of live cable conductors, switching/racking breakers, installation of LV-HV cables into energised equipment including switchgear, transformers and motors, replacement of LV-HV fuses and links, live underground cable jointing.

Arc Flash Consequences - Arc flash victims may require extensive treatment and rehabilitation. Business costs associated with arc flash accident include compensation claims, lost production, severe electrical equipment damage and fines. An example of an electrical arc accident generated costs in order of $430,000 (Source BG ETEM), considering medical treatment for the arc flash victim, lost time from work, damage to electrical equipment, legal costs and compensation.

What is arc flash ?

An arc flash is the consequence of an electric arc which can occur where there is sufficient voltage in an electrical system and a path to ground or lower voltage. Arc flash is usually caused by a short circuit of energized conductors.

An arc flash caused by an electric arc with 1,000 amperes or more can cause substantial damage, fire or injury. The massive energy released in the fault rapidly vaporizes the metal conductors involved, blasting molten metal and expanding plasma outward with extreme force. A typical arc flash incident can be inconsequential but could conceivably easily produce a more severe explosion. The result of the violent event can cause destruction of LV-HV electrical equipment involved, fire, and injury not only to the worker but also to nearby people. Forces may exceed 100kPa (KiloPascal) and debris is spread up to 300 meters / second with temperatures of up to 20,000°C.

In addition to the explosive blast of such a fault, destruction also arises from the intense radiant heat produced by the arc flash. The metal plasma arc produces tremendous amounts of light energy from far infrared to ultraviolet. Surfaces of nearby people and objects absorb this energy and are instantly heated to vaporizing temperatures. The effects of arc flash can be seen on adjacent walls and equipment -- they are often ablated and eroded from the radiant effects. The thermal incident energy onto the worker can cause severe skin burns or have lethal consequences.
