ELIM & ATPV in Arc Flash Testing
ELIM, which stands for " Energy Limit Value," is a term used in the context of arc flash testing and electrical safety. It represents a conservative approach to determining the protective capabilities of materials and clothing against the hazards of an arc flash event. An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy through the air, which can result in intense heat, light, sound, and pressure, potentially causing severe injuries or even fatalities.
