ARC Protection

Electricity & Power

When working as an electrician you need garments certified according to EN 61482-2 / IEC 61482-2 in combination with EN ISO 11612 as there may be a risk of an Electric Arc. Electricians working outdoors may also need High Visibility garments certified to EN ISO 20471.

 

An Electric Arc accident comprises of many varied risks that will affect the PPE clothing in different ways but with the right solution, we can help to minimise the impact of these risks. A Tranemo Skinsafe™ system where the outer layer reaches PPE 2 and has an Arc Rating (ATPV or EBT value according to NFPA 70E) above 8 cal/cm² is recommended.


The switchgear range ‘Switch’ is designed for work where there is a risk of being exposed to Electric Arc with a very high energy level - for example in switchgear environments, when cutting off power or commissioning electrical systems. Garments in the ‘Switch’ range offer protection of 40 cal/cm² (PPE4).

Electric Car Industry

This is a relatively new industry that requires protective clothing that is certified to EN ISO 11612 and EN 61482-2. We recommend a Tranemo Skinsafe™ system with an outer layer that provides PPE 2 protection with an arc rating above 8 cal/cm².

When working in electric car industries, Tranemo recommends garments certified according to standard EN ISO 11612 and IEC 61482-2 / EN 61482-2. Working with car batteries and defect batteries there is a risk of an Electric Arc. With the right solution of clothing marked IEC 61482-2 / EN 61482-2, the impact of these risks will be minimised. A Tranemo Skinsafe™ system with an outer layer that complies with PPE 2 and has an Arc Rating (ATPV or EBT value, according to NFPA 70E) above 8 cal/cm² is recommended.

 

When the power to the car is cut off and/ or switched on, high spikes in current are created and there is a risk of being exposed to Electric Arc with very high energy levels. The Switch range is developed for these risks and offers protection to an energy level of 40 cal/cm² (PPE 4).
