Arc Flash Safety Strategies

Maximizing safety and minimizing downtime

BY MAURICE D’MELLO, GE Industrial Solutions

A generation ago, an arc flash hazard was an interesting tangent to consider in electrical system design, but not a major topic for discussion. That all changed with the Canadian Standard Association’s CSA Z462: “Workplace Electrical Safety” standard. Arc flash hazards are now important components of electrical safety. Engineers across the electrical industry are rethinking strategies that keep workers safe while, at the same...
