I expect data centres and the overall market to take arc flash and hazards more seriously.
Previously, we were dealing with incident energies or arc flash energies that were relatively low. But with this rising power, we expect that baseline to continue to increase.
Educating both the organisation and its employees to manage, mitigate and safeguard against risk is going to be paramount.
I also predict new technologies will continue to emerge in the next two to five years because power and voltages in the AC world will continue trending higher. There’ s discussion around transitioning to DC, which can result even higher incident energy.
I expect that the market and organisations will respond positively to new technologies to mitigate some of the risks involved with the increase in power. �
