Fire-resistant clothing is an excellent way to protect engineers and technicians from such hazards. Knowledge of the following topics can ensure safety. . Possibility of an Explosion: Arc flashes are prone to explosions. When current leaves its normal path (bus bars and travels through air) this means the surrounding air has been ionized.

- Light effect with high ultraviolet and infrared radiation. - Ionisation effect that can trigger an arc on nearby active sections. When electric arc danger exists, heat-resistant clothing must be worn. The arc's characteristics are given by: The resistance value of the free arc, expressed in cal/cm according to

//&#;&#;Category : Clothing with minimum arc index of cal/cm. Category : Clothing with minimum arc index of cal/cm. Category : Arc-rated clothing of at least cal/cm. Category : Arc-rated clothing of at least cal/cm. At Bulwark, most monolayer clothing used for low and high-voltage power line work provides a minimum protection of ...

//&#;&#;Arc Flash Clothing. In the street lighting industry arc clothing should be rated according to IEC under test method IEC garments are tested and then categorized into levels of protection as per the chart below.
