HIAD Nature Event - Ignition Source: Short Circuit
In a chlorine electrolysis facility, a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen in one of the electrolyzer cells a short-circuit ignited causing a deflagration. The cover of the cell was a thin plastic film…
Explosion of hydrogen at slip ring end of an alternator. It was caused by a hose fracture within the generator casing, which led to a discharge of water into the casing and subsequent electrical…
A trained plant operator was blending water, sand, anhydrite, lime, cement, PFA and powdered aluminum in a mixing chamber to produce material for making building blocks. All powders are pre-weighed…
Leak from faulty hydrogen seal ignited by short circuit between inboard slip ring and outboard slip ring radial lead connection. Hydrogen flame caused damage to brush gear assembly and inboard slip…
An isolation failure in starter coil of the high voltage generator induced an electric arc to the hydrogen supply line, with consequent fire and melting of the line.
Due to the failure of a exhaust system, compressed hydrogen leaked into an area containing electrical components, with consequent fire.Leakage was allowed when exhaust system failed
A Worner 1000 STU gas balloon, of German registry D-OAGH, piloted by a commercial pilot was substantially damaged during landing, when the hydrogen-filled envelope came in contact with a power line,…
