An arc flash is a dangerous electrical explosion caused by a rapid release of energy due to an electrical arc, which can result in severe injury or death. Proper safety measures, including personal protective equipment and risk assessments, are crucial to prevent arc flash incidents in electrical environments.
An arc flash hazard is a dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc, which can result in severe burns, injuries, or fatalities to personnel, as well as damage to equipment. It occurs when there is a breakdown in the insulation or isolation between energized conductors, leading to a rapid release of energy in the form of heat, light, and pressure.
