The difference between arc flash working distance and approach distance
If you work with electricity, then you are probably well aware of the hazards (arc flash and shock) but something you might not be so comfortable with is the safe limits of approach boundaries and what is referred to as the working distance. In my experience, these distances seem to back seat to the incident energy level of an arc flash or the voltage level of a potential shock hazard but they are critical in determining one's safety. In fact, if they are ignored or misinterpreted then the risk of injury is definitely going to go up. In this article, we will go over what each of these distances actually means and why they are important to you or anyone who is working on or near exposed energized electrical parts.
