Being very close to a typical powerful arc flash as an electrician is similar to experiencing the effects of a 16- to 20-inch fireworks salute inches at your face as it explodes at you. You never want that experience! The explosive force--as well as the superheating temperatures--of an arc flash--can kill you instantly--or disable you instantly--depending on how much PPE you have worn when the flash happens. Without PPE, death is nearly 100 percent certain. With PPE, the chance of death or serious disabling injury is mitigated.
Severe damage to electrical stuff after an arc flash will mean replacing usually the whole electrical system. That means big costs to companies, as well as business-damaging downtime. The stuff (equipment, switchgear, transformers) that is fried to up to 35,000 degrees F in an arc flash will always give and be unusable.
Es bueno dar a concer las protecciones pero mejor seria que tuvieran el stock,actualmente en Chile no tiene ABB ,les hice llegar correos a los manager de ABB y a otras gerencias sin exito. Se comunican con mi sin ningun fin ni solcucion.
