This course details the basic principles of this approach, along with the significant advancements in the field of Fire Resistant Personal Protective Equipment made from Fire Resistant fabrics. The most effective form of protection remains prevention, and switchgear manufacturers have made significant design advances in order to ensure that the effect of an arc flash incident is contained within the enclosure of switchgear (commonly known as arc flash resistant switchgear). Methods of testing such switchgear have also evolved simultaneously. In addition to the approach to avoid arcing incidents within the switchgear, there are also techniques to reduce the severity of the flash should any such incident occur. These will form the key focus areas of this course.
