Electric Arc Hazards
The risk of electrical accidents is always present. An accident only occurs when there is an opportunity, and often it is handling errors that cause the incident. This course covers what electric arcs are, how arc hazards occur, incident energy, and risk-reducing measures.
Objectives of Electric Arc Hazards
This course teaches you about how electric arcs develop and behave. You will learn about how to go about reducing the incident energy in an electric arc. The course covers risk prevention and reduction through factors such as establishing barriers, disconnecting equipment, installing protective devices, different types of protective devices, and disconnecting equipment that contributes to electric arc short-circuit currents.
Who needs Electric Arc Hazards?
Personnel who design and maintain electrical installations and other staff who may be exposed to arc flashes in their work.
