SKM SOFTWARE
 SKM Software is used for creating ARC Flash labels
 The current version is: (6.5.2.7 Build 2)
 An arc flash is an electric arc which can occur when
there is sufficient voltage in an electrical system and a
path to ground or lower voltage.
An arc flash with 1000 amps or more can cause
substantial damage, fire or injury. The massive energy
released in the fault rapidly vaporizes the metal
conductors involved, blasting molten metal and
expanding plasma outward with extreme force.
