Abstract :
This paper reviews the need for arc-flash hazard awareness, analysis, and personnel protection. It looks primarily at the low voltage electrical system and what can be done to reduce incident energy. It further outlines methods to protect workers from the devastating effects of arc-flash, and possible ways to reduce incident energy levels through review of various electrical design choices
