EC&M On Air — How Circuit Breaker Conditions Impact Arc Flash Safety

April 22, 2024
Episode 44 features Denise Green, who shares best practices to avoid arc flash incidents.

In Episode 44 of EC&M On Air, Editor-in-Chief Ellen Parson sits down with Denise Green, Midwest regional sales manager and national breaker specialist with Group CBS (a NETA-accredited company), to cover common questions about how circuit breaker condition affects arc flash safety.

Denise presented a very popular webinar on this topic last summer, which is available on demand for you to listen to in its entirety under the Premium Content section of our site. However, this episode only covers the highlights from this presentation along with questions from EC&M readers and audience members. You can also check out this article on the same topic by Denise here.
