Arc Flash Gloves, Masks and Visors
Arc Flash Protected Accessories
(Balaclavas, Visors, Gloves and More)
Arc garments are designed to reduce the risk of burns when an arc flash occurs. These incidents cause an electrical explosion or discharge which results in substantial damage, fire and often injuries.
When purchasing arc flash clothing you will need to understand what level of protection is required for your industry. Arc protection is measured in cal/cm² (or small calories of heat energy per square centimetre) with CAT 1 providing 4 cal/cm² and CAT 4 providing at least 40 cal/cm².
- Arc CAT 1 - >= 4 cal/cm²
- Arc CAT 2 - >= 8 cal/cm²
- Arc CAT 3 - >= 25 cal/cm²
- Arc CAT 4 - >= 40 cal/cm²
