ARC FLASH KIT
Hand Helmet Arc Flash Kit

To help ensure workplace safety, reliable electrical protection products are essential for personnel working around energized systems and high-voltage environments.

CATU Arc Flash Protection provides arc-flash protective clothing and accessories designed for electrical safety applications.

An arc flash may occur due to human error, technical difficulties, equipment faults, installation issues, or accidental factors. Workers who may come into contact with electrical current, particularly in high-voltage environments, should follow appropriate electrical safety practices and use suitable arc-flash protective clothing and PPE.

What Is Arc Flash & How to Protect Yourself with Arc Flash Gear?

Electrical current can travel through air from one conductor to another conductor or conductive surface. This may include:

• Metal surfaces

• The human body

• Ground

• Other electrical conductors

Arc-flash incidents can cause severe or potentially fatal injuries.

The extent of injury can depend on factors such as:

• Electrical current strength

• Circuit resistance

• Distance from the conductor

• Temperature

Possible causes of an electrical arc flash include:

• Dirty or dust-covered conductor surfaces

• Impact force to tools

• Accidental electrical contact

• Acid corrosion

• Air corrosion

• Water corrosion

• System faults

• Installation mistakes

• Other electrical failures

Arc-flash PPE provides an important protective barrier between workers and electrical arc hazards.

In addition to following established electrical protection boundaries and workplace safety procedures, workers should use appropriate arc-flash PPE kits based on the nature of their tasks.

Protective equipment may include:

• Electrical insulating gloves

• Arc-flash gloves

• Protective headwear

• Face shields

• Arc-rated jackets

• Protective coveralls

• Complete electrical protective clothing

Qualified electrical personnel should supervise and provide suitable guidance to workers who are not qualified in electrical circuit safety.

Industrial Uses

Industrial electrical environments may be exposed to different arc-flash hazard categories.

Without suitable protective equipment, arc-flash incidents can result in serious injuries and large-scale fire hazards.
