Rittal: Protect Life and Productivity Through arc Flash Prevention
June 22, 2018
Arc flash is the explosive release of energy triggered by a phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground short circuit. When an arc flash event occurs, air becomes a conductor and carries electric current with potentially lethal results for workers and equipment. This white paper looks at the dangers and causes of arc flash and what can be done to prevent it in work environments.
• Learn several dangerous arc flash misconceptions
• Find out about NFPA 70E/CSA Z462 and IEEE 1584 standards for workplace electrical safety
• Discover how Rittal’s TS 8 series of enclosures provide a viable arc flash solution
• Remember, Rittal’s Flange Mount Disconnect interlock system is the only one that complies with the UL508A rule: which means simply that if a secondary door is open, the main door cannot be closed and the switch cannot be reset
The costs related to many accidents of an electrical nature, are very expensive; leading to loss of production, fines, civil suits, and more.
Knowledge is power and workplace safety is a planned solution, not a lucky accident. Be prepared by downloading the white paper today
