'Effect of Insulating Barriers in Arc Flash Testing' is the title of a paper that circuit protection company Ferraz Shawmut presented at the IEEE PCIC, the annual technical conference of the IEEE's Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee, in Philadelphia.
The paper documents the company's research findings regarding low-voltage arc flash testing using the standard IEEE 1584 test procedure, but with the electrode tips terminated in an insulating barrier instead of in the open air. This configuration is believed to be more representative of equipment in low-voltage industrial control panels and MCCs.
The paper, authored by R. Wilkins, M. Allison and M. Lang, describes arcing fault testing done in a high-power test laboratory with...
