Press Release Body: Most of us know that the words "Arc Flash" mean something
serious. But, most of us do not know how dangerous an Arc Flash can be. Some
things to consider are:
. There are approximately 2,000 Arc Flash events that occur in the United States
every year
. Temperatures can reach 35,000°F in less than 1 second
. When copper vaporizes, a dynamite like explosion will occur

So, now that we have your attention, Arc Flash events can be minimized and avoided
if you understand safety standards and adhere to published requirements. Documents
such as NFPA 70E can help save lives and avoid catastrophic
incidents.
Safe maintenance practices, knowing what to look for, thermal imaging of electrical
switchgear using safe equipment and protective gear can all help.

Join us on Tuesday, June 3rd 2008 in this informative web seminar \"Arc Flash
Avoidance and NFPA 70E Compliance\" to understand what an Arc Flash is and safety
standards you should follow to save lives.
