Description

Arc Flash Protection from Honeywell

A line of Honeywell products has unveiled the ARC FLASH PROTECTION 8 CAL/CM², part of the Impact by Honeywell Arc Flash series, engineered to cater to the Indian market with enhanced breathability and improved fit. These premium garments not only elevate comfort levels but also maintain the same high performance and durability, boasting a fresh appearance and enhanced fit.

Drawing on its extensive experience in arc flash protection and a deep understanding of worker requirements, Honeywell has revolutionized the concept of comfort, style, and safety with this line. The breathable fabric and optimized fit truly make a noticeable difference, complemented by a comprehensive feature set for professional-grade arc flash protection.

Standards and Certification

The entire ARC FLASH PROTECTION 8 CAL/CM² garment undergoes rigorous testing according to ASTM, F1506, ASTMF2621, and NFPA 70E standards, featuring flame-resistant knitted fabric cuffs and collar for complete sealing at the wrist and neck areas to mitigate any sparks or flashes in case of an incident. Enhanced design elements include a leg closure pull-through tab for the waist and an aesthetically superior face shield for comprehensive protection and improved color recognition.

PPE Category 2, with a minimum arc rating of 8 cal/cm², typically involves the use of a single layer of Arc Rated PPE. Many companies facing exposures that would fit within Category 1 often opt for Category 2 clothing to address both levels of protection. Presently, the comfort levels of PPE for both Category 1 and 2 are comparable, making Category 2 clothing a more sensible choice.

For workers in PPE Category 2, the following clothing is required:

• Arc Rated Long Sleeve Shirt and Pants, or Arc Rated Coverall, with a minimum arc rating of 8 cal/cm²

The following face and head protection are mandatory:

• Arc Rated Arc Flash Suit Hood or AR Face Shield
• Sock Hood/Balaclava, with a minimum arc rating of 8 cal/cm²

Additionally, the following items may be necessary:

• Arc Rated Jacket, Rainwear, Parka
• Hard Hat Liner

In conjunction with Arc Rated clothing, the following products are either mandatory or recommended for use:

• Heavy-Duty Leather Gloves for hand protection
• Hard Hat
• Eye Protection (Glasses, Goggles)
• Hearing Protection

Footwear requirements may include:

• Leather Footwear, as needed

Arc Flash Protective PPE, with ratings of 8 CAL, 12 CAL, and 20 CAL Arc Flash Kits, meet the standards of NFPA 70E-2018 for both PPE Categories 1 and 2. These kits not only offer the necessary protection but also ensure breathable comfort, flexibility, and durability.
