| One way to prevent flashover is to add some conductivity to the surface of the insulator, so charge can bleed away before it builds up. |
|
| From the time a fire first breaks out to flashover, when everything catches on fire, can take as little as three minutes. |
|
| In an instant, an avalanche of electrons is rolling over the surface in a catastrophic flashover. |
|
| Minutes after they escaped, there was a fire flashover and the whole building went up in flames. |
|
| Section 232 requires workers to wear flame resistant outerwear if they could be exposed to a flash fire or electrical equipment flashover. |
|
| The sudden intake of air with the heat of the cigarette caused a flashover and he was trapped as flames and smoke engulfed the vehicle. |
|
| They were faced with the possibility of a flashover as the fire, in a matter of minutes, progressed to a stage where it was producing copious amounts of thick smoke. |
|
| It had been a flashover, a kind of reaction when the room was so superheated, that it used everything in the room as fuel and the room then exploded. |
|
| In as little as three minutes, a small fire can erupt into flashover. |
|
| The ignitability and likelihood of flashover of a potentially explosive mixture are properties that are specific to the substance. |
|
| This radiates heat into the room below, causing flashover even when the air temperature in the rest of the room is relatively low. |
|
| The high ceilings provide a benefit by delaying the build-up of heat that could lead to flashover, and delaying the descent of the smoke layer. |
|
| The use of fire-blocking and low heat-release panels significantly delays flashover, thereby further improving occupant survivability. |
|
| Canadian standards do not address delay in the occurrence of flashover in the cabin. |
|
| Hereby the flashover or the transition to a fully developed fire is an important target. |
|
| Every single piece of steel in the Minster that will conduct electricity is now bonded with the lightning protection system to stop this sort of flashover. |
|
| Self-cleaning, they improve line performance and reduce flashover. |
|
| In the past, a firefighter would have felt the heat building up towards flashover and would thus have been forced to retreat. |
|
| This SCBA may cease to provide protection if used during excessive heat or flashover conditions harsher than those in which it has been tested. |
|
| The modelled scenarios covered a flashover fire involving the upper level of a 2 level exhibition booth right next to a column. |
|
|
|
| In contrast to the other gas-fired simulators in the ifa grounds, the flashover facility uses wood. |
|
| An intermittent phase-toground fault within the excitation unit caused a noticeable flashover and smoke. |
|
| Examine for evidence of moisture that may lead to tracking or flashover while in operation. |
|
| A crew was inside the flame-consumed building when they were hit by what is called a flashover, a sudden violent burst of flames at extreme temperatures. |
|
| Insufficient electric strength of reinforced insulation: flashover occurred between the accessible metal parts and live parts at a voltage level below the prescribed threshold, thus posing the risk of electric shock. |
|
| Protective systems must be designed and capable of being positional in such a way that explosions are prevented from spreading through dangerous chain reactions or flashover and incipient explosions do not become detonations. |
|
| The fire room allows fire fighters to observe a fire from ignition to the point of flashover and to practice the necessary operational and fire-fighting techniques. |
|
| Results from this study furthered the understanding of key performance issues and relevant design parameters for controlling fire and preventing flashover to allow response time for fire departments. |
|
| The program can also be used to evaluate individual components of a design, such as the activation time of heat detectors or sprinklers, the time to flashover and the time of failure of construction elements. |
|
| A fragile stabilisation of the global financial system has been achieved, but a flashover to the real economy could not be prevented thus leading to a worldwide recession. |
|
| In days gone by, when houses were draughty and thus cooler, and rooms were filled with furniture made from natural materials that were slow to burn, it could take 15 minutes or more for a fire to reach the point of flashover. |
|
| Therefore, to increase survivability, the FAA concentrated its efforts on improving the flammability standards for cabin interior materials to delay the onset of flashover. |
|
| In the early stages of a fire, this program's predictions vary a lot from moment to moment, but as the point of flashover approaches they become more and more accurate. |
|
| The behaviour of glass panels on adjacent upper interior and exterior panes in a flashover fire depend on the flame and smoke spread from the fire compartment. |
|
| Flashover is a rapid change from a growth stage fire to a fully developed fire. |
