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.
