Safety Analysis of a Mv Electrical Installation, regarding Arcing Fault Risk
نویسنده
چکیده
Arcing faults are a great concern in any electrical installation. However, and despite all precautions, the probability of occurrence can't be equal to zero. The paper discusses situations, effects and how mitigation of these effects can be seeked through design choices during the design stage of the installation. Arc-proof switchgear is contributive, but can't address all the situations, nor cover the whole range of possible fault currents.
