DESCRIPTION:Please join us --virtually via Google Meets -- for this upcomin
 g IEEE Spokane event: An in depth comparison of three different technologi
 es and their applications for reducing risk to workers due to arc flash ha
 zards.\n\nArc-resistant equipment\, isolation barriers\, and energy reduci
 ng line-side isolation (ERLSI) are different solutions for arc flash hazar
 d reduction that on the surface appear to be very similar\, but when consi
 dered in detail are quite different. Arc resistant equipment redirects or 
 contains an internal arc fault within the equipment so that the under cert
 ain conditions personnel are exposed to a lower arc-flash hazard. An isola
 tion barrier installed in equipment can\, under the right conditions\, sub
 stantially lower the likelihood of inadvertent contact across the barrier.
  ERLSI is an equipment feature that is similar to an isolation barrier\, b
 ut with enhanced functionality and applied to the line-side of the equipme
 nt main overcurrent protective device to reduce arc-flash hazards. All thr
 ee solutions\, when properly applied\, reduce the arc flash risk to the el
 ectrical worker but under different conditions.\n\nThis presentation compa
 res the application of these three solutions based upon considerations of 
 selection\, limitations\, benefits\, conditions under which arc-flash haza
 rds are reduced\, maintenance\, end of life\, and relative cost.\n\nCo-spo

 energy reducing line-side isolation (ERLSI) are different solutions for ar
 c flash hazard reduction that on the surface appear to be very similar\, b
 ut when considered in detail are quite different. Arc resistant equipment 
 redirects or contains an internal arc fault within the equipment so that t
 he under certain conditions personnel are exposed to a lower arc-flash haz
 ard. An isolation barrier installed in equipment can\, under the right con
 ditions\, substantially lower the likelihood of inadvertent contact across
  the barrier. ERLSI is an equipment feature that is similar to an isolatio
 n barrier\, but with enhanced functionality and applied to the line-side o
 f the equipment main overcurrent protective device to reduce arc-flash haz
 ards. All three solutions\, when properly applied\, reduce the arc flash r
