Arc Protection Blankets,
| Arc suppression blankets are used as a barrier for protection against the explosive and incendiary effects of electrical arcs and flashes. These hazardous electrical discharges can be caused by faults in cables, cable splices and transformer terminals, or may be generated by the operation of switchgear, circuit breakers and lightning arrestors. These blankets cab be used for worker protection in underground vaults, switch yards, and other locations where electrical equipment poses a risk of exposure to explosive electrical discharges. |
A+ Safety offers arc protection blankets in both 15kA and 40kA ratings and in 4’x5’ and 4’x8’ sizes. The 15kA blanket includes loops and the 40kA blanket includes grommets to easily keep the blanket in place. These blankets are also available with storage bag or kits containing straps and storage bag.
CAUTION: Due to the unpredictability of electrical discharges, the arc protections blanket may not totally contain arcs and flashes, but only reduce or the explosive or incendiary effects. In such cases, serious injury or death may still occur even if the blanket is properly used.
NOTE: These blankets do not eliminate or reduce the requirements for proper arc flash PPE protection.
