DEHN has recently added to its portfolio of personal protective equipment with the launch of the DEHNcare arc fault tested protective suit.

In addition to safety helmets and protective gloves, the suit constitutes the third important component for reducing the risk of arc flash injury whilst working on electrical installations.

The two part protective suit protects workers from the thermal effects of an arc fault during work on electrical installations. To this end, the materials used provide maximum protection (IEC 61482-1-2, class 2).

The suit, which is available in six sizes, uses breathable leather and neoprene materials in combination with flame retardant lining and reflective strips. The zip and hook and loop fasteners are also made of flame retardant material.
