Training aim

Creating Arc flash awareness as it can be a serious hazard.

Learning objectives

Arc flash risk is high in low voltage installation; the changes on an arc flash are small but the effect is severe.

In Europe (IEC) this risk is not treated with the respect that is needed. LV switchgear causes a risk for personal safety and operation .

In this presentation we will consider how forms of separation can mitigate the risk of an arc flash occurring and explain various forms defined within EN standards and local annexes.
