All of this refers to shingle roofs, which we don't see much of. We mostly deal with concrete and corrugated steel/galvalume, the latter being a nightmare. Does anyone have good ideas for dealing with corrugated? There's no way to flash it, the blocks are fine when you hit a beam on the ridge but

Jeff, In my limited knowledge of this issue, there is no doubt DC arcs have the capacity to burn and are difficult to extinguish, and good wiring practices are essential at these elevated voltages. However, you need to distinguish between high temperature arcs which can burn, and Arc-Flash risks

I didn't mean to suggest arc flash could only happen at 480V, just that it is less likely to be very serious at lower voltages. The PPE needed for work on 480V switchgear looks like the person is in the hot part of a nuclear reactor. Scary stuff. -- Chris Mason
