Arc

Electric arc refers to the discharge caused by voltage breakdown of air, generating instantaneous high-temperature sparks, releasing huge energy, and causing serious accidents such as personnel injury or equipment damage.

Electric arc is different from electric shock. Electric shock is when the human body comes into direct contact with a power source, causing damage to the heart, lungs, nervous system, and can also cause skin burns.

Poor manufacturing and installation of switches, damage to wire insulation, equipment malfunctions, and unauthorized operations can all lead to arc accidents.

Body protection

Main hazards or risks:May cause burns to the eyes, face, hands, chest, and other areas, and in severe cases may result in disability or even death.. Blindness or blindness in the eyes. Hearing loss and toxic gas hazards generated during high temperatures. High energy arc release can generate explosive shock waves, causing physical damage to the body. The NFPA report shows that there are 5-10 arc accidents occurring in the United States every day, with over 2000 people severely burned or killed by arcs each year. Electric arc accidents account for 77% of electrical accidents in France each year, of which 21% result in permanent disabilities.
