Arc Flash Training
Arc flash calculations increase safety
Everyone deserves to go home safely at the end of the day
All work on electrical networks is accompanied by a risk of short circuits and arc flashes. Arc flashes are rare, but the consequences are disastrous. The vast explosions that accompany arc flashes put technicians, installers and bystanders at great risk. Optimal protection against arc flashes is an absolute necessity. Calculating the behavior of arc flashes before they take place contributes to safety, by providing insight into the risks and how these can be minimized. Insights into arc flash energy at a specific workplace make it possible to decide which personal protective equipment should be used.

On request
Location
Eindhoven University of Technology
Costs
€ 825,00 per person excl. VAT

What our participants say about the training sessions
"Instructive case. I now have a better understanding of the origin of electric arcs and the variables that influence them."
- Danny H., Vattenfall
"The knowledge of the speakers is at a high level, they understand the question well and have a clear answer to this."
- Energy supplier
"Enthusiastic speakers, interactive, questions were treated well and time was also taken. Perhaps a little more thought about PPE."
- Mischa P., Vattenfall
"Clear training, clearly explained and informative. Also clear awareness about the risks and dangers of arc flash."
- Energy suppler
