Course Summary

Arc flash or Arc Blast is gaining attention in the electrical installation world today. It’s another electrical hazard which needs to be contained and eliminated. This phenomenon has to be scrutinized seriously and adequate safety measures have to be implemented. The risks involved in arc flashes and blasts are devastating and can result in huge losses and severe downtime. Arc flash hazards analysis are gaining popularity worldwide as it mitigates electrical faults particularly flash overs. This analysis is comprehensive as it will expose the risks, estimates the deadly incident energy and recommends the type of personal protective equipment to be used.

Arc flash protection relays, arc detection methods and containment are among the arc flash mitigation techniques. This will also involve the internal arc classifications and the design of the arc retardant metal switchgear. This GLOMACS Understanding Arc Flash Phenomenon, Risk, and Incident Energy training course will help the delegates to understand the arc flash phenomenon, recognise hazards of arc flash and arc blasts, understand the concepts of arc flash hazards analysis and importance of arc flash incidents mitigations.
