How to reduce the risk of an arc flash in your business
For power-critical commercial and industrial buildings, a continuous supply of electrical power is essential. Reliable power in such buildings is reliant upon the low-voltage distribution switchboards that lay at the heart of the electrical installation.
Demands placed upon these switchboards, leave them vulnerable to arc flashes. An arc flash can be catastrophic in terms of safety of people, and to the ongoing continuity of your business. Even switchboards that meet the requirements with electrical standards such as IEC 61439, remain vulnerable to arc flashes.
Understanding the risk of arc flash events in your switchgear assemblies is the first step to protecting your people and your business. In this webinar, we’ll look at the causes and effects of arc flashes, measures that can be taken to protect against them, and the standards relevant to verifying that protection.
