The Volt Safety ARC-HOOD4-S-LU-H is an arc flash hood with a lift-up visor, carrying a published arc rating of 43 cal/cm2 in the HRC4 category. The ARC-HOOD4-S-LU-H is supplied with a hard hat and ratchet adjuster, plus a storage bag that protects the face shield. Sherwood manufactures the hood from DuPont Nomex fabric with Paulson USA face shield components.
A fixed hood accumulates heat from the moment it goes on, and an operator who is uncomfortable finds reasons to remove it early. Communication through a sealed hood is poor, which slows a switching sequence that depends on two people talking. The lift-up visor raises clear of the face once the operator steps outside the hazard zone, releasing heat without removing the hood. The anti-claustrophobic design addresses the confinement that makes some operators reluctant to wear full head protection.
Hoods live harder than anything else in an arc flash locker, and a scratched visor is a failed inspection. A dedicated storage bag keeps the face shield off the tray of a ute between jobs. An integrated hard hat with ratchet adjuster means the hood suits a crew rather than a single head. Buying the hood on its own suits a site replacing damaged head protection without repurchasing garments.
This product is head and face protection only, so arc rated garments and gloves are required separately to make up a complete ensemble. The visor must be lowered and secured before entering the hazard zone, since the lift-up function exists for use outside it. Arc rated equipment reduces the severity of burn injury rather than eliminating risk, and selection follows a documented arc flash risk assessment rather than a purchasing preference.
(ARC-HOOD4-S-LU-H)
No. This product covers the head and face, supplying the hood, hard hat and storage bag. Arc rated garments and gloves are bought separately. An ensemble is only rated to its lowest rated component, so every item needs an arc rating at or above the assessed incident energy.
The visor must be down and secured before entering the arc flash boundary and must stay down for the whole of any energised task. Raising it is intended for use outside the hazard zone, to release heat and talk to an observer between operations.
Volt Safety lists ASTM F2178, the standard covering arc rated eye and face protective products, alongside NFPA 70E for arc flash work practice and AS 4836 for safe working on low voltage electrical installations. Garment and glove standards do not apply, since neither is supplied.
The supplied hard hat uses a ratchet adjuster, which allows the harness to be tightened or released by hand without tools. That suits a hood shared across a crew or worn over different head sizes. Check the fit is secure before entering any hazard zone.
Arc rating covers thermal energy released by an arc flash. It is a separate matter from electrical insulation, so shock protection still requires appropriately rated insulated gloves, matting, tools and test equipment. Both hazards need addressing independently in the safe work method.
Use the supplied storage bag, which keeps the visor off hard surfaces and away from grit that causes scratching. Inspect the visor for scratches, crazing and impact damage before every use, along with the hood fabric, stitching and the hard hat harness.
Arc flash equipment is classified as PPE, and PPE is excluded from Sparky Direct's change of mind returns. Only warranty faults are accepted. Confirm the arc rating, hood style and fit requirements against the site procedure before ordering.
The hood carries a one year warranty for domestic and commercial use, running from the invoice date, returned to Sparky Direct. Coverage applies to manufacturing faults. Visor scratching from normal use and impact damage in service are not warranty claims. Report damaged goods within 24 hours of delivery.
