2. Arc flash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_flash

   Light and current based protection can be set up with dedicated arc-flash protective relays, or by using normal protective relays equipped with an add-on arc-flash option. One of the most efficient means to reduce arcing time is to use an active arc flash mitigation device, e.g., an ultra-fast earthing switch (UFES).

3. IEEE 1584 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1584

   IEEE 1584-2018 is an update to IEEE 1584-2002 and was developed to help protect people from arc-flash hazard dangers. The predicted arc current and incident energy are used in selecting appropriate overcurrent protective devices and personal protective equipment (generally abbreviated as PPE), as well as defining safe working distance. Since ...

4. Anti-flash gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-flash_gear

   Anti-flash gear, also known simply as flash gear, is basic personal protective equipment consisting of a fire-resistant hood and fire-resistant gloves, [1] often made of Nomex. The purpose of anti-flash gear is to provide protection to the head, neck, face and hands from short-duration flame exposure and heat.

5. NFPA 70E - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA_70E

   Key principles covered are JSA/JHA/AHA procedures to ascertain shock protection boundaries, arc flash incident energy expressed in calories/cm2, lockout-tagout, and personal protective equipment. While the various OSHA, ASTM, IEEE and NEC standard provide guidelines for performance, NFPA 70E addresses practices and is widely considered as the ...

6. Live-line working - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-line_working

   An electric arc is extremely bright, including in the ultraviolet, and can cause arc eye, a painful and potentially blinding condition. Workers may be provided with appropriately tinted goggles that protect their vision in the event of a flash, and provide defence against debris ejected by an arc.

7. Contact protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_protection

   When the contact is operating under power (wet), the sources of the wear are the result of high current densities in microscopic areas, and the electric arc. [2] Contact wear includes material transfer between contacts, loss of contact material due to splattering and evaporation, and oxidation or corrosion of the contacts due to high ...
