An electric arc is a type of electric discharge in a gas, the form of which is formed by plasma.
The power of an electric arc is a powerful, intense discharge of electricity in the ionization of a mixture of gases and vapors of other materials between two electrodes that are under electrical voltage.
The main factors that pose a threat to the life and health of a worker in the event of an accident associated with an electric arc surge are:
raptovost effect, due to which the personnel cannot promptly leave the scene of an accident;
energy concentration effect: seeing a large amount of energy in a short period of time in a concentrated environment, which leads to the appearance of local fatally dangerous concentrations and can lead to hourly hours slow waste of time;
high temperatures, under the influx of people who do not stagnate dry conditions, eliminate important care and injuries;
impact injury, as a result of which a person can suffer injury from a fall or impact on objects that are behind his back;
Vibukhova hvilya, which can distribute medics from all places, remove them from gatherings, etc.;
A suitable garment for the practitioner or the melting of synthetic parts is used instead of a special heat-resistant garment as an emergency garment.
For people, if production becomes potential, it is not safe. However, the greatest threat to electrical personnel is an electrical arc. Special heat-resistant clothing for protection from electric arcs cannot replace safe methods of wiring in electrical installations. However, this stagnation allows you to significantly reduce the risk of losing important guards from the current arc, and also significantly improve the chances of survival of the victims. Therefore, heat-resistant clothing sets to protect against electric arcs are required for such categories of workers
electricians servicing electrical installations of power plants;
electrical repair and maintenance services;
electricians of the operational-visit brigade;
electricians for the repair of damaged power lines;
electricians from substation maintenance;
electricians in the operation of various electrical circuits;
electricians for the repair and installation of cable lines;
electrical appliances for the repair of household appliances;
for electricians of the main switchboard of power plants;
line electricians for the installation of high-voltage power lines and contact lines.
As statistics show, the oil and gas complex, metallurgy, electrification transport and power generation can be brought to the forefront of manufacturing, whose personnel are often vulnerable to accidents caused by an electric arc.
A special feature of individual protection for workers from the flash of an electric arc is a protective kit, which consists of a dry suit, linen, heat-resistant gloves, a helmet with a face shield and a blow-up.
Warehouse of full thermostatic oxygen kit
This set is made from Nomex® fabric and other heat-resistant materials. The current new heat-resistant clothing set is made up of the following storage parts:
suit made of Nomex® fabric with permanent heat-resistant properties, resistant to electric arc flash;
heat-resistant mitten (pull under electrical mittens);
helmets with a shield, made of impact-resistant, heat-resistant polycarbonate, resistant to electric arcs;
heat-resistant underpad (summer and winter);
vzuttya, resistant to the flow of an electric arc (summer and winter);
There are additional drying properties in the appearance of the cape jacket, the top, the middle lining and the lining are made from heat-resistant material Nomex®, as well as heat-resistant white.
Nomex® fiber, recently developed by DuPont using the latest technologies, is one of the most non-absorbent and heat-sensitive materials. The areas of its focus are very diverse: in the aerospace industry, during the development of engines, suits for Formula 1 pilots, and methods of individual protection for industrial workers. enterprises, special clothing for fire workers, naphtha workers and gas workers. The dry power of “Nomex®” is an invisible part of the fiber itself (it is unique because of the heat-absorbent properties of the fiber, which is resistant to most industrial types of oil, chemical agents and chemicals), the stench is “infused” into its molecular structure, and is not the result of chemical treatment or application before. This feature allows you to preserve the moisture-resistant and heat-resistant characteristics of this unique material throughout the entire term of operation. Among these particular authorities, one can see a high level of thermal insulation for extreme temperatures. The material does not undergo combustion, does not melt and does not create molasses as compared to similar materials on the market.
Due to the necessary level of protection, for the skin area, electrical personnel are required to pay attention to the installation parameters to be serviced, and a dry suit is selected for the work.
Our thermal arc protection suit has been successfully tested in the AITEX laboratory and meets IEC requirements.
The suit consists of a jacket and pants (possibly a jumpsuit)
Our suit for protection against thermal protection against electric arcs has a low advantage:
The suit is made from a special material based on meta-aramid, para-aramid and Kevlar fibers and is resistant to high temperatures and half-life.
The durability of the material is achieved not through the strength of special permeations, but through the strength of the fibers of the fabric themselves, so that the strength of the material will not be lost when the suit is frequently worn.
Provides effective protection against high temperatures and fire, STEAM and naphtha products.
The material of the suit is resistant to abrasion and tearing.
The design of the suit will ensure air circulation under the suit.
It is important to reduce the energy of the flow of electrons that accompanies the arc of the electric arc, which will ensure protection against overheating of a person in the subtissue space;
Do not stir the stove, do not smoke, do not melt;
Antistatic power is clearly reflected in the introduction of Nomex fiber R-140 material to the warehouse;
