Video showing a hood and face shield that survived a ferocious 100 calorie/cm^2 arc flash event. For comparison, someone pressing a car’s cherry-red cigarette lighter into skin for one second is about one calorie.

Level 4 protection stops past 40 calories. This is technically in the DANGEROUS category unless the levels were updated.

The dragon living inside the switchgear was very, very angry. ⚡️🐉⚡️

CONTENT WARNING: Nobody gets hurt. The video very likely contains some swearing in Russian!

@ArnimRanthoron @devxvda @OutOnTheMoors This is why my work makes me take a class on electrical hazards, which includes this video IIRC, even though the worst hazard I will ever see is paper cuts. #ArcFlash

Recently, we've been getting more work performing incident energy calculations. This type of calculation estimates the level of hazard a person is exposed to in the event of an arc flash incident.
We have extensive experience doing these types of studies. Contact us to learn more.
