Why is Eaton concerned and involved with efforts to provide solutions?
Eaton is committed to ensuring that companies and facilities have the best possible arc flash safety plan in place. It is vital to the safety of employees and the continued success of the business. While current arc flash safety standards are being enforced ever more strictly, they may not provide the specific attention to detail required for a safe work environment, even under "worst case" conditions.
Current standards are open to interpretation, so it's up to a company to draw conclusions from the general guidelines. There may be instances where the company thinks it has achieved compliance, when in fact it hasn't because of misinterpreted standards. Eaton has the experience and expertise to help companies understand the level of arc flash hazard in facilities and optimize safety programs accordingly.
