To jointly address fire protection regulations and protect workers against the dangers of arc flash explosions, Hoffman has introduced the innovative Arc Flash Safety System. Comprised of new Intersafe Data Interface Ports, window kits, folding shelves, the Concept Keyboard Box, and external data pockets, this system provides safe, convenient and affordable exterior access to controls.
Arc flash events may happen when an electrical fault occurs within the confined space of an enclosure. Often triggered by opening doors to access controls, the resulting explosion can cause devastating personal injury and extensive equipment damage. Conventional compliance with safety standards specifies that only highly-trained personnel with fire retardant, protective gear and non-conductive wands may breach enclosures within a 'flash protection boundary' established by NFPA 70E. This method is not only potentially hazardous, but entails considerable compliance costs and may require a production shutdown to monitor controls or initiate a simple programming change.
The components of Hoffman's Arc Flash Safety System isolate workers from energised equipment within the enclosure while meeting NFPA 70E standards for safety.
Completing the system are essential accessories including steel and stainless steel window kits for exterior visual monitoring of controls, folding shelves to hold laptops and test equipment, plus external keyboard and documentation storage.
