4 FAQs about Arc flash switchgear in China in Mauritania

What is arc flash mitigation?

ABB's arc flash mitigation solutions keep your business running, improving uptime by limiting the energy of arc faults, therefore limiting the damage they cause to switchgear and assets and the repair time required. Maximum peace of mind.

What is an arc flash & how can ABB help?

The occurrence of an arc flash is the most serious fault within a power system. Its destructive impacts can lead to severe personnel injuries, costly equipment damage and long outages. ABB offers a wide range of solutions to prevent and mitigate the effects of arc flash events, thus enhancing safety, minimizing damage and reducing downtime.

How does a switchgear withstand an electric arc?

Switchgear designed and tested to mechanically withstand the electric arc. Protection is afforded by the containment of the arc within the switchgear and the means to direct the arc gases and debris to a safe area. Passive solutions also include advanced switchgear design features to reduce the probability of an arc flash occurring.

What is passive arc flash protection?

The principle of passive arc flash protection is based on the mechanical design of low- and medium-voltage switchgear. Robust design reduces the risk that a person, standing in front of switchgear with closed and latched doors, will be injured in the event of an arcing current event inside the equipment.
