SAFE
®

Drawing on its experience and expertise in the area of the hazards of working on electrical networks, SIBILLE FAMECA ELECTRIC is offering a complete range of products for arc flash protection.
This brochure includes personal protective equipment (PPE) solutions to keep you safe from head to toe. It is organised by protection level according to performance (in calories/cm²), in accordance with the standards applicable in the area.
In order to make selection easier, we also offer homogeneous sets of equipment so that you can purchase the appropriate PPE after analysing the risk, simply and effectively.

1 - ARC-FLASH RISKS

An arc-flash or an electric arc is the result of an electric short circuit conducted by the air. It is a violent eruption of thermal energy from a source of electricity, which can lead to serious or even irreversible burns and injuries, depending on the seriousness of the incident. Electric arc or arc flash hazards become an essentiel concern when the rated voltage of the installation is greater than 220 Volts.

- It is expressed in calories/cm²,
- 1 cal/cm² is equivalent to exposing a finger to a lighter flame for a second,
- With only 1.2 cal/cm², individuals can suffer from second-degree burns,
- Standard non fire-retardant work clothing can ignite from energy levels of 2 calories.
Thermal radiation can reach 19 000°C , or four times the heat of the sun.

 Burns (thrid degree) due to the radiation energy of the arc, and
splatter of molten metal. It is equivalent to a ball of fire.
 Risk of hearing damage or loss due to the noise and pressure of the
shock wave (sound wave of approximately 165 dB)
 Injuries due to the inhalation of toxic fumes
(copper vaporisation…)
 Eye injuries or dazzling due to the light intensity (flash)
Areas of the human body affected by burns in the event of electric arc faults.

(Occupational Health and Safety Act) : general regulations relating to occupational health and safety
 Section 2 (1)
« Every employer shall make an evaluation of the risk which may arise from the activities of such employer ... and he shall take such steps to make such condition or situation safe. »
Section 2 (2)
« Where it is not practicable to safeguard (sub-regulation 1), the employer shall reduce the risk and shall provide free of charge and maintain in a good and clean condition, safety equipment to employee. »
 Obligation of compliance with NFPA 70 E rules
NFPA 70 E
: protection from electric arc hazards
 Obligation to analyse the hazards and be equipped accordingly for protection from the thermal effects of electric arcs
 The aim is to be protected from the risk of second-degree burns
 Methods for the calculation of arc energies and safety distances (appendix D – edition 2004)
 4 HRCs (Hazard Risk Categories)
Category 1 = 4 cal/cm²
Category 2 = 8 cal/cm²
Category 3 = 25 cal/cm²
Category 4 = 40 cal/cm²
 Use of personal protective equipment compliant with ASTM or ANSI or IEC standards
NB : Experience has shown that in some situations, the arc flash risk is not totally covered with protections that do not go beyond 40 cal/cm².
3 - EFFECTIVE
PROTECTION

Identify the effects of electric arcs, safety limits and working conditions in the
presence of such risks

Identify the operations and places where there is a potential electric arc risk,

Analyse the risk, given that the resistance value of the arc is expressed :
 in cal/cm² (ATPV*) according to NFPA 70 E regulations , the ASTM standards or
the standard IEC 61482-1-1 (open arc test),
 or in protection class (1 ou 2) according to standard IEC 61482-1-2 (constrained
arc test / Box test at 4KA or 7KA for 0.5 seconds at a distance de 0.3 m)

*ATPV = Arc Thermal Performance Value

CHOICE OF THE FABRICS
Marko® fabrics
 composition : 54% Modacrylic,
44% FR treated cotton and 2 %
antistatic fibre
 very high breathability
 very soft
 water repellent
Indura® UltraSoft® fabrics
 composition : 88% cotton, 12%
FR high tenacity nylon
 technical fibre that is intrinsically flame retardant (FR),
 FR guarantee during the whole
life of the garment
 high breathability

50% longer life compared
to 100% cotton garment
 very soft to the touch
 standardised
marking very
visible on the garment,
with ATPV level
 jacket wrists
with elasticated
tightening
 non-metallic
zip + flap

Select and wear PPE that are thermally resistant to arcs,
(Class III PPE : irreversible risks)
The choice of equipment will depend on the following :
 maximum fault current value

 phase/earth rated voltage approach distance from the source of the arc
 type of circuit (single or three-phase)
 environment in which the arc occurs (confined space…)

Follow the safety rules required in order to eliminate injury due to an arc flash,
… You are now protected from arc-flash risks
NB : Arc flash protective clothing is equipment that offers protection from the thermal risk caused by an electric arc. In no event it is insulating clothing.
