The risk of arc faults caused by technical defects, errors, soiling or foreign bodies in the system cannot be ruled out when working on electrical installations.
The main danger for the electrician working there is burns, as temperatures of over 10,000°C can arise during the propagation of an arc.
The hands, face and head are particularly at risk from the effects of an arc fault.
In addition to technical systems, arc-fault-tested personal protective equipment such as DEHNcare is the primary means of protection against the thermal effects.
