The Electricity at Work Regulations call out a number of hazards that could cause injury or death when working around electricity. Some, like electric shock, are generally well understood and managed, but can the same be said about electrical arc flash? How well is this hazard understood, recognised and managed in electrical equipment operational throughout industry? This event will cover the basics of what the electrical arc hazard is, where it might be encountered, how it can be risk assessed

Despite the urgent need, there are several technical barriers in place which could hinder design and delay operational readiness of these systems.

What is it? How it is manufactured? What are its benefits for decarbonisation? What are the hurdles in developing this technology at scale? How could it be deployed in the North of Scotland?
