    When can Arc Flash occur ?

    Arc Flash occurs when insulation or isolation between electrified conductors is breached or can no longer withstand the applied voltage.

    What causes Arc Flash?

    Arc flash occurs when electrical current becomes uncontrolled, results in release of energy that ionizes air, releasing enormous heat, light, sound.

    Degree of Burn

    Degree of Burn is the level of depth of Burn effect on the human skin up to bones.

    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.
