CATU KIT-ARC-A-01-C CAT'ARC Kit 12 cal/cm² with Coveralls

Arc Flash Suit Kits are complete protective clothing systems designed to offer full-body protection against the hazards of arc flash incidents in electrical environments. These kits typically include a combination of garments, gloves, hoods, and other necessary PPE (personal protective equipment) to ensure the worker is fully shielded from the intense heat, light, and energy generated during an arc flash event.

Arc flash suits are essential for workers in industries such as electrical utility, industrial maintenance, and construction, where the risk of arc flash is high. These suits meet stringent safety standards and are designed to minimize the risk of serious injuries, including burns, hearing loss, and eye damage.

Whats included

The kit comprises the following components:

• Arc Flash Coverall (AFG-1001): Provides full-body protection against thermal effects from electrical arcs.
• Insulating Electrician Helmet (MO-182/1-B): Offers electrical insulation and mechanical protection.
• Arc Flash Face Shield (MO-187/1): Protects the face from thermal and mechanical hazards.
• Helmet and Shield Cover (M-87413): Protects the helmet and face shield when not in use.
• Arc Flash Protective Hood (MO-134): Provides additional head and neck protection.
• Mechanical Protection Safety Glasses (MO-11000): Protects the eyes from mechanical impacts and UV radiation.

The KIT-ARC-A-01-C is available in sizes ranging from Small (S) to 2XL. It's important to select the correct size to ensure optimal protection and comfort. The sizing can be determined based on chest, waist, and hip measurements. For detailed sizing charts, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Features:

• Arc Flash Protection: The kit provides protection in case of an arc flash event, with a 12 cal/cm² energy rating, which typically corresponds to protection against medium-level arc flashes in electrical environments like distribution boards or transformers.
• Flame-Resistant Fabric: The clothing is made from materials that will not catch fire easily, and they can withstand high temperatures generated by an arc flash.
• Comfort and Mobility: While providing protection, the kit is designed to allow workers to move freely and work efficiently in confined or hazardous environments.
• Compliance: Typically, such kits comply with industry standards like ASTM F1506, NFPA 70E, or IEC 61482 for electrical safety.

Intended Use:

• Electrical Maintenance: Primarily used by electricians, engineers, or maintenance personnel working on electrical systems or circuits where an arc flash is a potential hazard.
• High-Voltage Environments: Useful in environments where workers are exposed to high-voltage electrical equipment like substations, electrical panels, or industrial machinery.
• Industries: Ideal for use in the electrical power industry, utilities, manufacturing plants, or any other setting with electrical risks.

Benefits:

• Safety: Significantly reduces the risk of burns or injuries from arc flash incidents.
• Peace of Mind: Ensures workers are protected according to industry standards, giving them confidence while performing high-risk tasks.
• Compliance with Regulations: Meets the necessary standards to ensure workplace safety and legal compliance.

Summary:

The CATU KIT-ARC-A-01-C is a comprehensive protective kit that ensures maximum safety for individuals working in hazardous electrical environments. It is designed to protect against medium-level arc flash events (up to 12 cal/cm²), with durable coveralls and potentially other PPE such as gloves and face shields. This is a must-have for anyone working with live electrical systems or in environments where arc flashes may occur.
