    What is Ambient Air Temperature?

    Reference Ambient Air Temperature is one third (1/3) of sum of Maximum Air Temperature “Current + Daily Average + Annual Average + 10°C”. As per IS 9676.

    DC Utilization Categories IEC 60947

    Utilization Categories indicate the type of Load and Duty Cycle of the load basis which selection of Switchgear should be done for the intended application.

    Burns caused by Arc Flash

    Degree of severity of burns is based on size and depth of the burn on human body. Fire, steam, Radiation, chemicals, Electric Arc, can cause burns.

    What is Arc Flash ?

    Arc Flash is light and heat produced as a result of Arc Fault, due to low impedance path, which causes electrical explosion or discharge.
