BECAUSE THE SAFETY OF WORKERS IS A CRUCIAL CONCERN

EDITORIAL

Drawing on its experience and expertise in the area of the hazards of working on electrical networks, SIBILLE FAMECA ELECTRIC is offering a complete range of products for arc flash protection.

This brochure includes personal protective equipment (PPE) solutions to keep you safe from head to toe. It is organised by protection level according to performance (in calories/cm²), in accordance with the standards applicable in the area.

In order to make selection easier, we also offer homogeneous sets of equipment so that you can purchase the appropriate PPE after analysing the risk, simply and effectively.

RESULTS OF ARC-FLASH HAZARDS Burns (thrid degree) due to the radiation energy of the arc, and splatter of molten metal. It is equivalent to a ball of fire. Risk of hearing damage or loss due to the noise and pressure of the shock wave (sound wave of approximately 165 dB)

Injuries due to the inhalation of toxic fumes (copper vaporisation…)

Eye injuries or dazzling due to the light intensity (flash)

WHAT IS AN ARC-FLASH ?An arc-flash or an electric arc is the result of an electric short circuit conducted by the air. It is a violent eruption of thermal energy from a source of electricity, which can lead to serious or even irreversible burns and injuries, depending on the seriousness of the incident. Electric arc or arc flash hazards become an essentiel concern when the rated voltage of the installation is greater than 220 Volts.

THERMAL ENERGY GENERATED BY AN ARC-FLASH - It is expressed in calories/cm², - 1 cal/cm² is equivalent to exposing a finger to a lighter flame for a second,- With only 1.2 cal/cm², individuals can suffer from second-degree burns,- Standard non fire-retardant work clothing can ignite from energy levels of 2 calories.

Thermal radiation can reach 19 000°C , or four times the heat of the sun.

US PRINCIPLE

OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Act) : general regulations relating to occupational health and safety

Section 2 (1)« Every employer shall make an evaluation of the risk which may arise from the activities of such employer ... and he shall take such steps to make such condition or situation safe. »

Section 2 (2)« Where it is not practicable to safeguard (sub-regulation 1), the employer shall reduce the risk and shall provide free of charge and maintain in a good and clean condition, safety equipment to employee. »

Obligation of compliance with NFPA 70 E rulesNFPA 70 E safety rule : protection from electric arc hazards

Step 1 : Identify the effects of electric arcs, safety limits and working conditions in the presence of such risks

Step 2 : Identify the operations and places where there is a potential electric arc risk,

Step 3 : Analyse the risk, given that the resistance value of the arc is expressed : in cal/cm² (ATPV*) according to NFPA 70 E regulations, the ASTM standards or the standard IEC 61482-1-1 (open arc test), or in protection class (1 ou 2) according to standard IEC 61482-1-2 (constrained arc test / Box test at 4KA or 7KA for 0.5 seconds at a distance de 0.3 m)

*ATPV = Arc Thermal Performance Value

Step 4 : Select and wear PPE that are thermally resistant to arcs, (Class III PPE : irreversible risks) The choice of equipment will depend on the following : maximum fault current value phase/earth rated voltage approach distance from the source of the arc type of circuit (single or three-phase) environment in which the arc occurs (confined space…)

Step 5 : Follow the safety rules required in order to eliminate injury due to an arc flash,
