Arc Flash Clothing
Arc flash clothing is flame resistant workwear built to protect electrical workers from the intense heat of an electric arc. If a fault flashes over, the fabric resists the burn instead of feeding it. Every piece is arc-rated and flame-resistant.

Hi-Vis Arc Flash Clothing That Protects Against Heat and Flame
Arc flash clothing resists ignition and self-extinguishes rather than melting onto the skin. Its arc rating sets how much thermal energy it can take before that protection is lost, measured in cal/cm² and quoted as an ATPV or ELIM value. Inherent flame-resistant fabrics keep their protection for the life of the garment because the resistance is built into the fibre rather than applied as a finish that washes out. The system also has to be rated as a whole. Zips, base layers and every garment worn together all need to be arc-rated to perform as intended.

Base and Mid Layers
The FR and ARC sweatshirt works as a warm mid layer under a coat, while the polo shirts suit lighter work or warmer days worn on their own. The hi-vis yellow polo carries the same arc and flame protection but adds EN ISO 20471 visibility.
Outerwear, Trousers and Accessories
For outdoor work, the waterproof storm coat and matching salopettes keep the rain out without giving up arc protection. The combat trousers pair with any of the tops for full lower-body cover, with the practical pockets and movement that maintenance work needs. On higher-risk jobs, the Pulsar Electric ARC hood completes the system and shields the head and neck.
FAQ
What is arc flash clothing?
Arc flash clothing is flame-resistant arc-rated workwear worn by people working on or near live electrical equipment. It is designed to limit the heat that reaches the body during an arc flash reducing the severity of burns if a fault occurs.
How does arc flash clothing protect you?
Arc flash clothing protects you by resisting ignition and self-extinguishing instead of catching fire or melting onto the skin.
How do I choose the right arc rating?
You choose the right arc rating by matching the garment to the incident energy identified in your workplace risk assessment measured in cal/cm².
Is arc flash clothing the same as flame-resistant clothing?
Arc flash clothing is a type of flame-resistant clothing, but not all flame-resistant clothing is arc-rated. Flame resistance means the fabric won't sustain a flame, while an arc rating adds a tested value for how much arc energy the garment can take.
Does the arc protection wash out over time?
With inherent flame-resistant fabrics, the arc and flame protection does not wash out because it is built into the fibre rather than applied as a coating.
Why combine arc protection with hi-vis?
Combining arc protection with hi-vis covers two hazards in one garment. Electrical workers are often on roadsides, near traffic or around moving plant, so a garment that is both arc-rated and EN ISO 20471 compliant protects against the arc and keeps the wearer visible without needing a separate layer.
