Abstract

The control of incident energy and subsequent Flash - protection boundary for systems using large blocks of power has been established, which uses either the direct protection of fuses or the controlled switching of a circuit-breaker. This paper will correct a inadvertent error in the examples given in the paper ldquoMitigation of Flash Hazard Using Transformers on Industrial Machinesrdquo presented a the I&CPS Conference 2005 Saratoga Springs NY. The paper will develop the application of the concepts presented in the original paper.
