Decomposition of HFCa Using Arc Plasma Makoto Ohno,, Yasuhiro Ozawa and Taizo Ono, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan Asada Corporation, Nagoya, Japan National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan Abstract Decomposition of HFCa using arc plasma was examined.

Plasma arc gasification is a waste treatment technology that uses high electrical energy and high temperature created by an electrical arc gasifierThis arc breaks down waste primarily into elemental gas and solid waste (slag), in a device called a plasma converterThe process has been intended to be a net generator of electricity, depending

In less than a second, an arc flash is initiated from a phase to ground or a phase to phase faultIt can result from accidental contact with the electrical systems, the buildup of conductive dusts, corrosion, dropped tools, or improper work proceduresThe plasma arc has a virtually unlimited current carrying capacity once it's established.

New York City's electric utility Con Edison this morning explained that an electrical fault on , volt equipment at a Queens power plant caused 'a sustained electrical arc flash.'

An Arc Flash also produces a cloud of plasma and ionized particles and if inhaled, the ionized gas causes severe burns to the airways and lungsThe charged particles may also be attracted to metallic objects nearby such as jewelry, belt buckles, keys and eyeglass frames resulting in severe burns.
