        Volt Safety | Arc Flash Kit HRC4 43 cal/cm2 Standard Hood | Nomex Size S

        The Volt Safety ARC-KIT4-S-S is an arc flash personal protective equipment kit with a published arc rating of 43 cal/cm2, supplied in size S. The ARC-KIT4-S-S contains a standard hood with its own bag, a jacket, bib-trousers and gloves, packed into a waterproof PPE bag. Garments are manufactured by Sherwood from DuPont Nomex fabric, with Paulson USA components.

        An arc flash releases its energy in milliseconds, and the incident energy at the working distance determines the severity of any burn injury. A site arc flash study returns that figure in calories per square centimetre. The equipment selected must carry an arc rating at or above it. This ensemble carries a published arc rating of 43 cal/cm2 in the HRC4 category. Volt Safety lists a separate ASTM standard for each component type in the kit.

        Building a Category 4 ensemble item by item leaves gaps, and one mismatched garment drops the whole ensemble to its lowest rated item. Supplying the hood, jacket, bib-trousers and gloves together removes that variable from the purchasing decision. The hood ships in a dedicated bag, which keeps the visor clean and unscratched between uses. A waterproof PPE bag holds the ensemble, which matters for equipment that must stay serviceable.

        Features

        • 43 cal/cm2 arc rating — the ARC-KIT4-S-S carries a published arc rating of 43 cal/cm2 in the HRC4 category.
        • Standard hood — a full arc flash hood supplied with its own carry bag to protect the visor between uses.
        • DuPont Nomex fabric — garments manufactured by Sherwood from Nomex, an inherently flame resistant aramid fibre.
        • Paulson components — the hood is built using Paulson USA parts.
        • Jacket and bib-trousers — a two-piece garment set covering torso, arms and legs.
        • Arc gloves included — gloves are supplied as part of the ensemble rather than sourced separately.
        • Component-level arc testing — ASTM F1506 covers the garments, F2178 covers eye and face products, and F2675 covers hand protection.
        • NFPA 70E and AS 4836 — Volt Safety also lists the arc flash work practice standard and the Australian low voltage safe working standard.
        • Waterproof PPE bag — a dedicated bag for storing and transporting the ensemble.
        • Size S — this SKU is supplied in size S, with other sizes available on request.
        • Head, eye and hearing protection not listed — a hard hat, safety glasses and earplugs are not part of the published kit contents.
        • Not returnable — the ARC-KIT4-S-S is date-stamped PPE and cannot be returned or refunded for change of mind.

        Where to use

        • Switchboard operation and racking — the ARC-KIT4-S-S suits tasks where a study identifies incident energy up to its arc rating.
        • Live testing and fault finding — work carried out inside an arc flash boundary where the ensemble is called up by procedure.
        • Utility and network switching — operating and isolating equipment on distribution and industrial networks.
        • Mining and heavy industry — electrical maintenance where site policy mandates Category 4 protection.
        • Data centre and commercial switchrooms — critical facilities with high available fault current at the board.
        • Emergency isolation and response — attending a fault where the equipment condition is unknown.
        • Contractors on client arc flash policies — meeting a documented ensemble requirement written into a site induction.
        • Smaller frames — the ARC-KIT4-S-S supplies size S for operators at the smaller end of the sizing range.

        Arc rated equipment reduces the severity of burn injury rather than eliminating risk, and it sits last in the hierarchy of controls behind de-energising, isolating and proving dead. Arc rating and category must be selected against a documented arc flash risk assessment for the specific task and equipment. An arc rating addresses thermal energy from an arc and does not address electric shock, so insulated gloves, matting and test equipment remain separate requirements.

        Important: 
        This product is classified as PPE. 
        PPE products cannot be returned or refunded.
        Change of mind is not an option - Only Warranty Issues.

        PPE, or Personal Protective Equipment, is any equipment or clothing used for (personal) protection. PPE includes (but is not limited to) safety glasses, safety goggles, arc kits, ear plugs, respirators, fire blankets, safety harnesses, safety shoes, hard hats, fire blankets, knee pads, sunscreen, etc.

        These products are tested by the manufacturer and stamped with a date. Due to this testing and stamping procedure, we can not take back or refund these PPE products. Please make sure you order the correct PPE product.

        (ARC-KIT4-S-S)

        Arc rating expresses the incident thermal energy the material can withstand before the onset of a second degree burn becomes likely. A higher figure means a higher energy exposure is covered. It is a rating against thermal energy from an arc, not a guarantee that no injury occurs.

        An arc flash risk assessment or incident energy study calculates the energy at the working distance for the specific equipment and fault conditions. Equipment is then selected with an arc rating at or above that figure. Selection is a documented engineering decision, not a purchasing preference.

        No. Arc flash equipment is classified as PPE, and PPE is tested and date-stamped by the manufacturer, so it cannot be returned or refunded for change of mind. Only warranty faults are accepted. Confirm sizing carefully against the manufacturer's size chart before ordering.

        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.

        The published contents are the hood with its bag, jacket, bib-trousers, gloves and the waterproof PPE bag. A hard hat, safety glasses and earplugs are not listed. Check the site procedure for what else the task requires and source those items separately.

        This SKU is supplied in size S. Volt Safety lists other kit sizes as available on request, and lead times can apply to non-standard options. Contact Sparky Direct with the size required before ordering, since PPE cannot be exchanged once supplied.

        The waterproof PPE bag is intended for storage and transport, with a separate bag protecting the hood visor. Keep the ensemble clean, dry and away from contaminants, and inspect garments, gloves and the visor before each use in line with the manufacturer's instructions.

        The kit carries a one year warranty for domestic and commercial use, running from the invoice date, returned to Sparky Direct. Coverage applies to manufacturing faults. Change of mind is excluded because the product is PPE. Report any damaged or faulty goods within 24 hours of delivery.
