Impact of Electrodes Configuration on Incident Energy Analysis Using IEEE Std 1584

Comparative analysis of polyimide and aramid fabrics as arc protective materials

“…Thermal hazards are generally considered the most significant hazards of arc flash accidents because the documented arc flash injuries are mainly burns. 9,10 A survey showed that 20% of patients had burns due to arc flash events, of which 63% had second-degree burns and 37% had third-degree burns. 11…”
