Launch of our new factfile on arc flash risk management

Former Community Member

We published a new factfile on Arc flash risk management.

e44cfbb534ed373d69072e74a6988bf1-huge-arc-flash-risk-management-fact-file---front-cover_page_01.jpg

This factfile seeks to set out the key principles of arc flash risk management using a risk-based approach. It is aimed at persons with responsibility for the management of safety in the control and implementation of work on electrical power equipment. This factfile provides an assessment process and there is also a commentary on recognised standards and test methods for PPE in Appendix 2.

We are interested in your thoughts! Please read our factfile and ask any questions or share your thoughts below.

    I still don't see the point of using units that are different to the clothing data you see on the market at the moment.

    However, in future I would like to see the standards (and IET guidance … and arc-protection PPE) to use joules per square metre. 

    Another issue with published arc flash calculation methodologies is that standardised symbols are not used (for example, V is used for voltage, not U, and sometimes W for energy rather than E).
