Why is arc flash a concern?
An electrical arc flash produces one of the highest
temperatures on earth: over 20,000 degrees Celsius.
The intense heat from an arc flash causes the sudden
expansion of air, which results in a pressure blast. In
addition it vaporizes all known material which can
rapidly expand.
Match Your PPE to the Threat
PRIMARY PPE is your main protection from the threat
i.e. electrical arc flash suit. Primary PPE is commonly
worn by people who are intentionally entering into a
high-risk situation.
SECONDARY PPE is a last line of defense. By definition it
is “secondary” because, like a hardhat or steel toe
boots, you wear it continuously.
Flame resistant
clothings’ purpose is to provide escape time and/or
minimize the extent of an injury sustained during an
incident. Please remember it’s not just a good idea, it’s
a requirement by OHSA.

Who is Arc Flash PPC?
Arc Flash PPC was founded by Warren McLeod, an
electrical Engineer, who has twenty years experience in
both heavy current and mining industries.
Following a recent lecture on the hazards and
precautions of arc flashes Warren McLeod attempted
to source day to day arc flash protective clothing. He
was unable to locate what he was looking for in South
Africa.
Warren then source leading Arc Flash Protective
Clothing Suppliers in the US and started Arc Flash PPC to
supply this essential product into the South African
market.
Our goal is not only to supply this product to people at
risk, but also to educate the industry of the risks involved
and the precautions that can be taken.

Protection Hood – AFHOOD 10 - 28cal/cm2
Protection Hood - AFHOOD Features and Benefits
Salisbury’s Arc Flash Hoods (balaclava) create 360 degree° head and neck protection
from arc flash dangers, when used with a AS1000 Series Faceshield/Hard Hat/Chin Cup
Unit. Each Arc Flash Hood is made from two layers of rib knit material and has an
elastic face opening that maintains its shape and size.
The AFHOOD10 has an ATPV rating of 10 cal/cm2. The AFHOOD15 has an ATPV rating
of 15 cal/cm2. The AFHOOD20 has an ATPV rating of 20 cal/cm 2. Both the AFHOOD28FF
and the AFHOOD28EO have an ATPV rating of 28 cal/cm2. All are made from FR
materials.
CAUTION: Arc Flash Hoods must be worn in combination with a faceshield in order to
comply with the requirements of NFPA 70E and will protect 360° inside the arc flash
boundary.

To keep these safety items in top condition, proper
storage is very important.
Proper storage extends the service life of gloves. Folds
and creases strain natural rubber and cause it to cut
from ozone prematurely. By storing rubber gloves in the

switchgear circuits can be tested through insulation.
The HVPA is worn on the wrist, shoulder or hard hat; No user controls (such as On / OFF button), the tester is ready at all
times to switch itself ON when in the presence of a high AC electric field; When the tester is removed from the electric
field it automatically switches itself OFF after 3 seconds to conserve battery power; Detects voltages from mains up to
hundreds of kV AC, even through insulation at a safe distance; Static discharge filter; Corona discharge filter; Buzzer
beeps and LED flashes at a rate determined by strength of electric field; When beep / flash rate is less than twice a
second the user is safe – the closer the user approaches the HV source, the faster the tester beeps; 9 volt standard

Every insulated hand tool is rated for exposure up to 1000VAC and dielectrically tested at
10 000VAC. These tools meet or exceed current ASTM F1505-07 and IEC 900 standards for
Insulated Hand Tools. These tools will help you to be compliant with OHSA 29 CFR 1910
Subpart S, and NFPA 70E.
The insulating material used is impact resistant and flame retardant. Two-colour insulation
makes inspection easier which adds to the overall safety. If the yellow under layer is
showing, the tool may no longer be insulated properly and should be considered for
electrical retesting.

Codes
NFPA 70e:
National Fire Protection Association’s Standard for
Electrical Safety in the Workplace is a voluntary standard
that is widely considered to be the best practice guide for
protecting workers from arc flash. It addresses electrical
safety requirements in workplaces during activities such as
the installation, operation, maintenance, and demolition of
electric conductors, electric equipment, communications
equipment, and raceways.
The essence of NFPA 70e, from a Personal Protection
Equipment (PPE) perspective, is to identify the threat and
accurately match your PPE to the threat. It is beyond the
scope of this website to explain NFPA 70e, but we do
recommend visiting www.NFPA.org for complete
information.
HRC:
HRC is an abbreviation for Hazard/Risk Category. This is a
classification system published in NFPA 70e which is used
to match protective clothing and equipment to tasks
performed on energized equipment.
Note: There are five Hazard/Risk Categories (0, 1, 2, 2*, 3
and 4) with clothing system arc rating requirements ranging
from 0 to 40 cal/cm2. See NFPA 70e, Table 130.7(C) (11)
and Article 130 for complete information.
Arc Rating:
An arc rating can be reported as ATPV or Ebt and it is used
to match protective clothing and equipment to the threat.
ATPV stands for Arc Thermal Performance Value and is
expressed in cal/cm2. Some people in the industry may refer
to this as “Cals”, and while this term is not recognized by
code, it is short for calories-per-square-centimeter. This
measure represents the amount of energy a material will
block until there is a 50% probability that there would be a
second degree burn. This number describes the protective
clothing’s ability to resist heat.
Incident Energy, which is the amount of energy from an
electrical arc that is likely to be experienced at a certain
distance, describes the threat. It too is expressed in cal/cm2.
ASTM 1506:
This is “Standard Performance Specification for Flame
Resistant Textile Materials for Wearing Apparel for Use by
Electrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Electric Arc and
Related Thermal Hazards.”
It sets the minimum performance criteria for fabric that is
used as a flame resistant garment. It includes requirements
for flame travel, seam strength, tearing, bursting strength and
more.
NESC 2007:
The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) has been
adopted by municipalities and states around the country. It
was designed for people working on electrical supply, utilities,
communications and associated equipment. It compliments the
NFPA 70e code because it provides practical work rules for
electrical generation, distribution and communication, or
people who must work on or near energized parts because it is
not possible or practical to de-energize.
There are three clothing system ratings in this code 4-cal, 8-cal
and 12 cal systems which are based on voltage, fault current
and maximum clearing times for voltages up to 800kV.
NFPA 2112:
This is a flame resistant garment standard for protection of
industrial personnel against a flash fire. This standard contains
dozens of tests which the material, fabric, accessories and
garment must pass. For example, the garment must achieve
less than a 50% total body burn, as tested on a thermal
mannequin. The fabric must maintain flame resistant
properties after 100 commercial washes, a low thermal
shrinkage, maintain colorfastness and a host of other design
standards which are all part of NFPA 2112. For more
information www.nfpa.org
Note: It is important to note you cannot certify a fabric, but
only a garment to this standard. Many brands of flame
resistant garments can not pass this test.
OSHA 1910.269:
This Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard
applies to electric utilities and generation plants when work is
performed on existing facilities. It requires that employees
who work around energized electrical parts not wear clothing
that, when exposed to flames or electric arc, does not
contribute to the extent of the burn injury. In common
language, it requires that in the event of a hazardous incident,
your clothing can not make the injury worse.
This means do not wear clothing that will support combustion,
melt, or have high rates of thermal shrinkage. This rule
prohibits polyester, nylon and other synthetic non-FR
materials.
Flame resistant clothing that meets the requirements of ASTM
F 1506 “Standard Performance Specification for Flame
Resistant Textile Materials for Wearing Apparel for Use by
Electrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Electric Arc and
Related Thermal Hazards” complies with OSHA
1910.269. www.OSHA.gov
OSHA 1910.32:
This is a broad explanation of the employers’ responsibility to
their employees. In general terms, it states that it is the
employers’ duty to identify potential danger and protect the
employee from those hazards. OSHA has used this “General
Duty Clause” to cite employers who did not require the use of
flame resistant clothing after their employees were burned.
