Electrical Shock Arc Flash Arc Blast
Shock Hazard. A dangerous condition associated with the possible release of energy caused by contact or approach to energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. [NFPA 70E]
Arc Flash Hazard. A dangerous condition associated with the possible release of energy caused by an electric arc. [NFPA 70E]
Associated with thermal hazard and burns.
Arc Blast is associated with extreme pressure and rapid pressure build up.
Solid to a vapor (67,000 x Cu expand)
US-NSC: 30,000 nonfatal/year, 1,000 fatal/year (half at <600V)

What is an Arc Flash?
ARC FLASH is dangerous condition associated with the unexpected release of tremendous amount of energy caused by an ELECTRIC ARC within electrical equipment.
This release is in the form of intense light, heat, sound, and blast of arc products that may consist of vaporized components of enclosure material –
copper, steel, or aluminum.
Intense sound and pressure waves also emanate from the ARC FLASH, which resembles a condined explosion.

How does an Arc Flash happen?
ARCING occurs when the insulation between the live conductors breaks down, due to aging, surface tracking, treeing phenomena, and due to human error when maintaining electrical equipment in the energized state. [DAS]
The INSULATION SYSTEMS are not perfectly homogenous and voids form due to thermal cycling. In nonself restoring insulations, TREEING PHENOMENA starts with a discharge in a cavity, which enlarges over a period of time, and the discharge pattern resemble tree branches, hence the TREEING. [DAS]

How does an Arc Flash happen?
ELECTRICAL ARCING signifies the passage of current through what has previously been air. It is initiated by flashover or introduction of some conductive material. The current passage is through ionized air and the vapor of the arc terminal material, which has substantially higher resistance that the solid material. [DAS]

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
A workplace that puts employees in an environment that contains electrical hazards must have a strategy to protect its workers. [Jones]
PROTECTIVE STRATEGIES
1st: To Isolate workers from electrical hazards by creating an electrically safe working condition.
2nd: To identify approach boundaries.
3rd: To use PPE to prevent injury in the event of an incident.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
•OSHS Rule 1080- PPE - safety shoes: to protect our FEET from any hazard
•OSHS Rule : 1085.01: When selecting gloves, consideration should be given to the hazards to which the wearer may be exposed to and the ease and free movement of the fingers.
•ARC FLASH SUIT: use to protect our whole body from this electrical hazard
•High Temperatures near the body produced by an electric arc or explosion cause Arc or Flash Burns. They should also be attended to promptly.
•Thermal Contact Burns occur when skin comes in contact with overheated electric equipment, or when clothing is ignited in an electrical incident.
