Arc Flash Protective Clothing Safeguards Every Moment - Yangzhou Darui
Darui Electric recommends for you
Arc flash protective clothing has flame retardant, heat insulation, and anti-static functions, and will not fail or deteriorate due to washing.Arc flash protective clothing once in contact with arc flame or intense heat, the high-strength, low-extension anti-ballistic fibers inside will automatically expand rapidly, making the fabric thicker and denser, forming a protective barrier for the human body.
An arc refers to a discharge that occurs when the body is close to high voltage but not in contact, using the body's induction as a bridge to form a jump spark. It can generate temperatures as high as over 2000 degrees Celsius, about four times the surface temperature of the sun, causing violent air explosions and electric shocks.
When an arc occurs, enormous energy is released in an extremely short time. Metal conductive components vaporize, causing high-temperature steam and metal to expand rapidly. The rapid thermal expansion of air and metal vapor causes explosions with loud noises and tremendous pressure.
What are the harms of arc to the human body?
Arc injuries generally refer to burns caused by the intense arc heat generated when a person is in an electrified environment without direct contact with the current, as the arc ionizes the air. Other electrical injuries are often more due to direct contact with the power source, causing destructive damage to internal and external body tissues. Generally, people are more aware of accidental electric shock, but in the power industry, the more dangerous hidden hazard is arc injury, which is often overlooked and difficult to avoid as it does not require contact. Direct contact with ignited clothing can cause severe burns or death to workers.
With the rapid development of industry, more and more arc injury accidents have occurred. In such situations, if on-site personnel wear clothing with fire-resistant and thermal protective properties, their chances of escape and rescue in disasters are greater, and the injuries they suffer are less.
Shanghai Xuji has designed, developed, and produced high-quality arc protective clothing based on arc protection needs. Shanghai Xuji arc protective clothing uses IFR® long-lasting flame-retardant and arc-resistant fabric, which has functions such as flame retardancy, heat insulation, and anti-static. Its protective performance does not significantly decrease or lose after multiple washes or long-term use. It has good resistance to instantaneous high-temperature arc heat. When an arc occurs, the clothing forms an arc isolation layer to protect the wearer's body, reducing or avoiding injury. It is suitable for protective wear in power industry environments such as substations, power supply stations, and large power operation equipment. Arc flash protective clothing used in conjunction with arc flash gloves, arc flash hoods, and arc flash shoes provides safer protection!
