July 1, 2024
Author(s)
Gabriel Taylor, Anthony D. Putorti Jr., Scott Bareham, Christopher U. Brown, Wai Cheong Tam, Michael Heck, Lucy Fox, Stephen Fink, Michael Selepak, Edward Hnetkovsky, Nicholas Melly, Kenneth Hamburger, Kenneth Miller
This report documents an experimental program designed to collect data and information to evaluate the performance of models developed to estimate the electrical high energy arcing fault (HEAF) hazard. This report covers full-scale laboratory experiments

Gabriel Taylor, Anthony D. Putorti Jr., Scott Bareham, Christopher U. Brown, Wai Cheong Tam, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Stephen Fink, Michael Heck, Edward Hnetkovsky, Nicholas Melly, Kenneth Hamburger, Kenneth Miller
This report documents an experimental program designed to investigate high energy arcing fault (HEAF) phenomena for medium-voltage, metal-enclosed bus ducts and switchgear. This report covers full-scale laboratory experiments using representative nuclear

On the use of time-resolved 3D diagnostics to characterize firebrand showers in the WUI

January 1, 2019

Nicolas Bouvet, Eric D. Link, Stephen A. Fink, Erica D. Kuligowski
NIST is currently developing a time-resolved, three-dimensional particle tracking and sizing diagnostic (a.k.a an “emberometer”) that will be applied to airborne firebrands during wildland- urban interface fires. The present paper provides an overview of
