    High-Risk Protection

    Arc Flash Rated Clothing for High-Risk Electrical Work

    Arc flash incidents can release extreme heat and energy within seconds,
    making suitable protective equipment critical.

    High-quality arc flash clothing helps reduce the risk of burns and
    serious injuries by creating a protective barrier between the worker
    and the electrical hazard.

    This protection is especially important when working on switchboards,
    control panels and high-voltage electrical systems.

    Choosing certified arc flash rated clothing helps support compliance
    with applicable safety requirements while improving protection on-site.

    Helpful Information

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is arc flash clothing used for?

    Arc flash clothing is designed to protect workers from extreme
    heat, flames and the energy released during an arc flash incident.

    It creates a protective barrier that helps reduce the risk of severe
    burns and injuries, especially when working on switchboards,
    control panels or high-voltage systems.

    What is included in an arc flash clothing kit?

    A complete Category 2 arc flash suit kit typically includes an arc
    face shield, balaclava, insulated gloves, leather protective
    overgloves and arc-rated coveralls or flame-resistant clothing.

    A complete Category 4 arc flash suit kit typically includes
    arc-rated hand-protection mitts and either a hood, coat and
    leggings or a jacket with bib-and-brace trousers.

    These components are designed to work together to provide full-body
    protection during electrical work in high-risk environments.

    What is the difference between arc flash suits and regular workwear?

    Arc flash suits are specifically designed for high-risk electrical
    work and are tested to withstand extreme thermal energy.

    Unlike regular workwear, they provide certified protection against
    arc flash incidents and are designed to meet strict electrical
    safety requirements.

    What does arc flash-rated clothing mean?

    Arc flash-rated clothing refers to garments that have been tested
    and assigned an arc rating measured in calories per square
    centimetre, or cal/cm².

    This rating indicates how much thermal energy the clothing can
    withstand before there is a risk of injury, helping electricians
    select an appropriate level of protection.

    When should arc flash clothing be worn?

    Arc flash clothing should be worn whenever there is a risk of
    exposure to live electrical systems.

    This includes maintenance, installation, testing and repair work on
    switchboards, control panels or high-voltage equipment where an arc
    flash incident could occur.

    How do I choose the right arc-rated clothing?

    Choosing the right arc-rated clothing depends on the electrical
    risk, the working environment and the required arc rating.

    Higher-risk environments require clothing with higher arc ratings,
    while lower-risk tasks may require a lower level of protection.

    As a general guide, without replacing a site-specific arc flash risk
    assessment:

    8–12 cal/cm², Category 2:
    Metering, ASP Level 2 work and service fuses.

    20–25 cal/cm², Category 3:
    Larger switchboards and industrial low-voltage work.

    40–52 cal/cm², Category 4:
    High-fault low-voltage boards, substations and switching work.

    Arc face shields should always be worn together with the correct
    rating of arc-rated clothing.

    Can arc flash clothing be used with other PPE?

    Yes. Arc flash clothing is typically used alongside other
    electrical PPE such as insulated gloves, safety helmets, protective
    footwear, balaclavas and arc-rated face shields.

    Combining these products with a complete arc flash clothing kit
    provides broader protection for the head, face, body and hands.
