Carbon Fiber Electrical Resistance Modification - Its Relationship to Electrical Equipment Malfunction.

Abstract

Relates to hazards in the operation of electrical equipment by carbon fibers which come in contact with critical electrical circuits when accidentally dispersed into the air by a variety of means. A carbon Fiber Study Group was convened to consider: (1) the magnitude of resistance changes required to minimuze electrical malfunction, (2) whether or not carbon fibers can be modified to meet these requirements, (3) the ease of hardening confined spaces, and (4) the disposal of carbon fibers and composites after use. Conclusions, recommendations, and background information are presented. (Author)
