<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An arc flash is an electrical breakdown of the resistance of air resulting in an electric arc which can occur where there is sufficient voltage in an electrical system and a path to ground or lower voltage. Electrical arcs experience negative incremental resistance, which causes the electrical resistance to decrease as the arc temperature increases. Therefore, as the arc gets hotter the resistance drops, drawing more and more current (runaway) until some part of the system melts, trips, or evaporates, providing enough distance to break the circuit and extinguish the arc. An arc flash with 1000 amperes or more can cause substantial damage, fire or injury."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>This new edition of the definitive arc flash reference guide, fully updated to align with the IEEE's updated hazard calculations</b></p> <p>An arc flash, an electrical breakdown of the resistance of air resulting in an electric arc, can cause substantial damage, fire, injury, or loss of life.
