Circuit Hazards
Insulation failure
Unintentional contact of two/three phases (low
resistance path) or phase and earth
Energy released is proportional to the square of
current and proportional to the time it flows.
Released energy radiates heat and causes flash,
burns and damages equipment.
HV Isolator Arc
Electrical Hazards
Electrical Hazards
Caused by human contact (direct or Indirect) with live parts in the event of
insulation failure / ineffective earthing
Shock arising out of electrical current passing though human body (heart) :
current at 30 mA for more than a few mS has fatality potential. Higher the
current, lesser the time available for disconnection.
Insulation failures can result in a short circuit current (in kA) causing flash /
fire / explosion, damage equipment and/ or cause serious burn injuries to
personnel
Higher settings of relays / high fuse ratings increases time to isolate faulty
circuits, higher energy dissipation and corresponding damage
Shrouds
effective insulation
Barricade
Improved maintenance
Check switchgear connections regularly
Barricade DBs / MCCs
Thermography
Avoid use of jointed cables
For flameproof areas use special equipment to
reduce earth fault currents.
Electrical Hazards
Switchgear terminals
Outgoing terminals
LOTO
Use insulated hand gloves.
Use double insulated hand tools drilling machines,
grinders etc. (Square in Square)
