Protection against electric arc

In recent years, our customers have underlined the question of safety in electrical assemblies with reference to one of the most severe and destructive electro-physical phenomenon: the electric arc.

Most often arc accidents occur when someone is working in the switchgear for maintenance or installation. This is normally performed with an open cabinet door. Since the cabinet door is open, the protection of arc-proof switchgear design is significantly decreased. The arc guard system is therefore a natural part of a modern switchgear design. This whitepaper comprehensively details the effects of an electric arc and the mitigation strategies and solutions to avoid them.
