More Features

industrial safety equipment, arc flash ppe requirements

The Arc flash personal protection equipment required should be determined by conducting a Power system studies called Arc flash risk assessment or arc flash study. The Arc Flash analysis will determine the incident energy at every panel. This can be used by the working personnel to determine which arc flash suit and arc flash ppe he should wear. The arc flash ppe category range starts from 8 or 12 cal arc flash suit, arc flash hood ranging upto 40 cal arc flash suit. The electrical ppe is additional ppe to the arc flash ppe which is determined conducting the Power system studies of arc flash risk assessments.

Arc Flash PPE is highly recommended to use after completion of arc flash services to the facility only by the skilled arc flash service engineers. These personal protective equipments are suggested at every individual panel based on the incident energy emits when any fault happens to safeguard the workmen from serious injury or death. Arc Flash Safety PPE is completely different from industrial personal protective equipments. Generally in industries PPE are used at the work location to protect from the mishaps happen in the site. They protect from the civil works, mechanical works, electrical shocks etc. But the electrical arc flash personal protective equipment are to be used only with the guidance of respective related maintenance engineer. VB Engineering Hyderabad supplies the Arc Flash Electrical Safety Products of Salisbury by Honeywell which is a leading company in supply of PPE that comply with ASTM requirements and OSHA regulations.

Our expertise electrical team will attend your facility with prior intimation. They will collect all the required data with images using VB Tantra mobile app. Then digitize the data to make available to back-office team simultaneously for data verification and validation purpose.

Our dedicated back-end team will coordinate with onsite team for data verification and validation. Once the data is found as per ground reality, by using system softwares like ETAP/ SKM power tools, they perform analysis and obtain the equipment wise incident energies and arc flash boundaries there by find the level of protection needed.
