Arc flash is one of the most dangerous electrical hazards. These sudden, explosive releases of energy cause tens of thousands of injuries every year. The flash can reach extreme temperatures, up to about 18,000 degrees, which is four times hotter than the surface of the sun. This can instantly cause severe burns, even from several meters away, and can cause clothing and other combustible materials to melt onto skin or burst into flames. The most obvious danger is from shock and electrocution if the arc discharge jumps to a person. Topsafe, we focus on electrical industrial market’s needs and publish our independent R&D ProArc-Mplus series fabric.
