SEAL OUT THE ARC
ELECTRICAL ARC WORKWEARS
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.
An electric arc acts like a powerful
explosion, sending out shockwave,
molten metal and high-intensity
radiant heat. This combination of
elements can cause a worker's FLAME RETARDANT WORKWEARS
clothing to ignite or melt instantly
or cause the clothing to break open,
resulting in severe skin burns.
Schuyler provides workwears that
®
meet and surpass the standard
requirements for protection from
electric arc flashes. Wearing the
right protective clothing protects
workers from the thermal hazards
associated with electric arc incidents
and minimize skin burns.
