    This document discusses the calculation of pressure produced by an electric arc and provides a formula to calculate the pressure (P) in lbs/ft2 or N/m2 based on the arcing current (Iarc) in kA and the distance (D) from the arc in feet. It provides an example calculation showing that a 50kA arc at a distance of 2 feet would produce enough pressure to propel a 75kg person standing that close with an acceleration of about 100 meters per second.

    Arc blast pressure

    Electric arcs produce some of the highest temperatures known to occur on earth - up to 35000 degrees Fahrenheit, 19500 deg
    temperature is four times higher than the temperature on the surface of the Sun. The intense heat from an arc causes sudden

    Because the chest and face area for most workers consists of nearly half square meter of surface area, the worker could easily

    The arc flash blast energy or pressure is not currently addressed in IEEE 1584 or NFPA 70E. Ralph Lee's IEEE paper Pressures D

    P = 11.58 x Iarc / D0.9

    where,
    P is pressure in lbs/ft2
    Iarc is arcing current in kA
    D is distance from arc in feet

    Arcing current Iarc can be calculated using the online arc flash calculator, Arc-Flash-Analytic or the IEEE 1584 5.2 formula 2a a
    equation or simple arc blast calculator below:

    Iarc, kA  1 feet D, 1 N/m^2 P, 11 1

    Energies produced by arc flash explosions are comparable to dynamite explosions. These forces can be significant. They have b
    workers tens of meters away from the arc causing falls and injuries that may be more severe than the burns themselves.

    Pressure vs. Distance from Arc

    For example, measured pressure differentials from a 100


    kA, 10 kV arc reached about 400 lb/ft2 (2 x 104 N/m2) at a
    distance of 3.3 ft. (1 m). This pressure is about ten times
    the value of wind resistance which walls are normally built
    to withstand, so such an arc could readily destroy a
    conventional wall at a distance of about 33 ft. (10 m), or
    less. A 25 kA arc could similarly destroy a wall at a
    distance of 8 ft. (2.4 m). The pressures on an individual
    from the same 25 kA arc, at a distance of 2 ft. (0.6 m)
    would be about 160 lb/ft2 (7750 N/m2). Since the average
    person is about three-square feet, this would result in a
    pressure of about 480 lbs. (2100 N) on the average
    person’s body,

    As an example, 50 kA arc would provide enough pressure to propel a person standing 2 feet away from the arc so
