Arc Flash Helmet & Visor Class 1 By ProGARM
ProGARM Arc Flash Helmet & Visor are certified to protect against the Thermal Hazards of an Electric Arc and manufactured using Modified High Impact Polyamide.
The arc flash helmets are designed to protect the head against injuries caused by falling objects, electric shock by preventing shock current flow through the head and is also approved with the faceshield for short circuit arc welding and protection against molten metal splashes.
Should you require guidance on selection and use of an Arc Flash Calculator please call Thorne & Derrick, the UK’s leading specialist distributor of electrical safety equipment for LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage) and HV (High Voltage).
Arc flash helmets have been developed as the results of market research for live working with electrical connections, the faceshield also includes unique protection for the chin not found on other arc flash helmets.

IEC 61482 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST THE THERMAL HAZARDS OF AN ELECTRIC ARC
Arc flash clothing and garments in a layered combination deliver workwear protection against hazards according to IEC 61482 – PPE protects the worker against electric arc flash dangers. According to IEC 61482-1-1:2009 (encompassing NFPA 70E 2015) the 4 arc risk categories are numbered according to the severity threat and determine the clothing protection level required to protect against a minimum level of incident energy measured in calories / cm² – this is the ‘Open Arc’ test method and measures clothing protection level according to the Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV).
NFPA 70E outlines the requirements for safe work practices to protect personnel by reducing exposure to workplace electrical hazards.
The ‘Box Arc’ tests clothing materials and fabric according to a pass/fail test by exposure to electric arc produced by 4kA (Class 1) and 7kA (Class 2) short circuits – this is IEC 61482-1-2:2007.
