Abstract

The paper presents test results and test procedures that served as the basis in the development of a test method used for determining the electric arc heat attenuation factor (HAF), effective heat attenuation factor (EHAF) and mechanical strength of protective devices. Such protective devices, as a shield on live line tools or on racking rods, are used in the industry for worker protection from electric arc thermal and fragmentation hazard
