Abstract
An arc resistant system includes an enclosure that houses electrical equipment and includes an intake isolation assembly configured to deform in response to an arc fault pressure wave to substantially block an intake ventilation opening of the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a first pressure relief assembly configured to open in response to the arc fault pressure wave to allow arc products to exit the enclosure and to enter a ventilation box. The ventilation box is coupled to the enclosure and includes an exhaust isolation assembly configured to deform in response to the arc fault pressure wave to substantially block an exhaust ventilation opening of the ventilation box. The ventilation box also includes a second pressure relief assembly configured to open in response to the arc fault pressure wave to allow the arc products to exit the ventilation box.
