Electric Vehicles and the DC Hazard: Arc Flash & Proper PPE - Self Study
About this course
With the increase in electric vehicles, it's important for technicians and anyone who may be working near them to prioritize proper flame resistant clothing. Because DC arcs have a continuous nature while AC arcs pulse, they affect personal protective gear differently.
In this short, free course from the team at Tyndale, learners will see the effects of AC and DC arcs on different clothing materials, demonstrating why flame resistant is absolutely paramount to EV worker safety.
