Arc Defence™ by Hicare Protectivewear light weight Arc Flash Protection , introducing advance light weight, breathable 40 Cal Arc flash suits are personal protective garments (PPE) designed to protect individuals working with electrical panels.
When an electrical current crosses an air gap and travels to a different conductor, it causes an arc
flash. Considering this, it is evident that any place where there is a possibility for the electrical
current to escape can experience an arc flash. Electrical workers must wear arc flash suits, which are
full-body protective clothes, to shield them from the heat and energy emitted during an arc flash.
Be sure to choose an arc flash suit When working with electrical equipment or in high arc-risk
environments, use only an arc flash suit that meets these ratings.
This helps to give the user an extra second of protection in order to avoid a secondary explosion or
flash in the working area.
