Arc Flash in Entertainment Today? Good publicity but it misses the point.
An article on arc flash appeared in an Entertainment Today subsidiary on health and fitness articles. This shows arc flash entering the mainstream which is a good thing but the article looks like a Wikipedia research project. It misses the whole point of this being an electrical phenonenom and most likely to strike in live electrical work. And misses the most important point, that most fatalities occur from clothing ignitions. Reducing energy with engineering techniques AND putting workers in arc rated clothing are the two biggest ways to keep injuries to a minimum.
