According to OSHA, 80% of electrically related accidents and fatalities among qualified electrical workers are caused by arc-flash events. I just came out of a technology update visit presented this week by the Littelfuse folks. Among the valuable takeaways are three arc-flash protection white papers that you should know about.

According to OSHA, 80% of electrically related accidents and fatalities among qualified electrical workers are caused by arc-flash events. I just came out of a technology update visit presented this week by the Littelfuse folks. Among the valuable takeaways are three arc-flash protection white papers that you should know about. One is a useful workbook that takes you step-by-step through the process to reduce arc-flash energy; a second is called Key Considerations for Selecting an Arc-Flash Relay. The third is an FAQ compilation that's based on questions that came out of a webcast Littelfuse did with our sister pub Plant Services about arc-flash protection and Littelfuse's arc-flash relay. You'll find them in the white paper library at ControlDesign.com.
