In the highly technical and rapidly evolving world of telecommunications, precision and operational assurance rule the day. That same anticipation of issues and attention to detail must accompany the very real hazards of arc flash. This becomes especially true around high-voltage electrical equipment that supports massive telecom systems.

And why? Because minimum federal standards merely guard against the chance of burns, and make no mention of the loss of limbs, eyesight, hearing, and internal organ damage that can accompany an arc flash event. Simple compliance, in other words, simply does not go far enough.

Provided through its long-established team of Engineering Services professionals, Eaton diagnostic arc flash studies, retrofit programs and employee training combine to save time, effort, dollars, and lives by:

• assessing guidelines;
• reducing fault current and duration;
• placing people away from faults and vice versa;
• and preventing faults through predictive diagnostic tools and monitoring equipment.

Simple arc flash compliance only means higher liability, costly recovery, and lost productivity. Telecom providers are best served by a deep, detailed, comprehensive arc flash management system from Eaton.
