Data Centers: Arc Flash Safety

In the world of financial services and large data centers, precision rules the day. That same level of precision must accompany the very real hazards of arc flash. This becomes especially true around high-voltage electrical equipment that supports massive financial and other data center 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. Financial institutions and data centers can earn a strong return on investment in arc flash management from Eaton. You could say, precisely so.
