Electrical Arc
Protection

Seal out the Arc.

One of the bigger risks electrical workers encounter when working with live circuits is electric arc. An electric arc is created through an accidental short circuit. The duration of the arc is short, but the effects can be devastating.

The electric arc acts like a powerful explosion, sending out a shock wave, molten metal and high-intensity radiant heat. This combination of elements can cause a worker's clothing to ignite or melt instantly or cause the clothing to break open, resulting in severe skin burns.

Schuyler® provides a range of workwears that meet and surpass the standard requirements for protection from electric arc flashes.

Wearing the right flame resistant protective clothing will protect the worker from the thermal hazards associated with electric arc incidents and minimize skin burns.
