Arc Flash Webinar
5 - 10 arc flash explosions happen in the USA every day, resulting in 1 - 2 deaths per day
Arc flashes can result from a wide range of causes. Accidental contact with live parts can initiate arc faults. In fact, an arc flash can occur even when a conductive object, such as a metal tool, is placed too close to a high-amp source of current. Find out how to protect yourself and your employees from Arc Flash related injuries.
