ARC-FLASH
As much as 80% of all electrical injuries are
burns resulting from an arc-flash and ignition
of flammable clothing.
Arc temperature can reach 35,000F - this is
four times hotter than the surface of the sun
Fatal burns can occur at distances over 10 ft.
Over 2000 people are admitted into burn
centers each year with severe electrical burns
