摘要

While metal-clad enclosures often provide excellent protection from the devastating potential of electrical arc blasts, electrical workers and engineers need to understand the limitations of such enclosures to protect the workers on the job. Several circumstances can compromise the integrity of metal-clad enclosures, although most are predictable, meaning arc blast hazards can be effectively controlled. The most effective means to control arc blast hazards is to either eliminate or mitigate incident energy levels through engineering interventions such as AFHA plus proper equipment design, installation and proper periodic preventive maintenance. PPE such as FR clothing should always be viewed as a last resort and used only to control residual hazards that remain after all reasonable efforts to mitigate incident energy have been exhausted. NEC 110.16 requires proper AFHA labeling at each facility. Workers must also be trained to properly interpret AFHA labels and know appropriate safe work procedures. Several instances occur where effectively protecting workers will require that workers exceed minimum standards as set forth by OSHA and the NFPA 70E. It is critical to understand that safe work practices set minimum standards and that proper training and good judgment are necessary to work safely with electrical energy. Additional research in equipment enclosure development and methods of reducing incident energy exposures is needed to more effectively protect electrical workers. The integrity of electrical enclosures must be tested with specific emphasis on deriving methods for predicting when arc blast events will exceed the design limitations of electrical enclosures.
