INTRODUCTION

2
12
An electric Arc Flash is a fault current, e.g. generated by a short-circuit travelling through ionized air - the so-called plasma,
22
together with tremendous amounts of convective heat an arc flash comes along with disastrous doses of electromagnetic
radiation (i.e. extremely high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV), infrared radiation (IR) and high energy visible light). The
32
explosively expanding heat generates toxic air, extreme noise (i.e. explosion bang) and a rapidly progressing pressure wave
42
- most probably accompanied by flying debris (e.g. fragments, molten metal).
52
62 An arc flash incident usually is caused by a system fault or a handling mistake in a high current electrical environment,
regardless whether this is a low, medium or high voltage system.
