Estimating the ignition hazard of 100% cotton clothing worn by transmission and distribution line workers.

Estimating the ignition hazard of 100% cotton clothing worn by transmission and distribution line workers.

This paper describes a method of estimating the fault current magnitude necessary to ignite 100% cotton clothing worn by transmission and distribution line workers inadvertently exposed to the thermal hazards of an electric arc. This paper is intended to suggest methods for initial evaluation of the...
