An arc flash jacket is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect workers from the hazards of an arc flash. An arc flash is a type of electrical explosion or discharge that results from a low-impedance connection to ground or another voltage phase in an electrical system. Arc flash incidents can generate high temperatures, intense light, and pressure waves, posing serious risks to individuals working with or near electrical systems.

Arc flash jackets are made from flame-resistant (FR) materials that can withstand the thermal energy generated during an arc flash, helping to minimize burn injuries. These jackets are part of a broader category of arc flash protective clothing, which may also include pants, gloves, face shields, and other gear. The protective capabilities of arc flash PPE, including jackets, are rated based on their Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy of Breakopen Threshold (Ebt), which is measured in calories/cm². This rating indicates the level of protection provided against the thermal energy of an arc flash.

It's important for individuals working in environments where arc flashes are a risk to wear the appropriate level of PPE, including arc flash jackets, as specified by safety standards and regulations such as those outlined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E, "Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace." These standards help guide employers and workers in selecting the appropriate PPE for the specific hazards present in their work environment.
