Arc is the discharge phenomenon of electric current passing through a gas, and arcing occurs when an electric current of sufficient strength is passed through ionized air.

The main hazards of electric arc to human body have several aspects as following:

Electricity to death, while workers touch electric directly, it may cause electricity to death or serious burns, actually, even if the clothing have FR protective property, it can not prevent workers from the hazard of electricity to death.

The serious burns caused from clothing burning, workers are not hurt just by electric arc touching, electric arc generate radiant heat can generate high temperature of 5000℃, and it can hurt human body within 3 meters.

Clothing crack caused serious burns, electric arc generate explode or vibration force will rip off everyday wearing clothing, then workers’ body will expose under high temp/ fire and molten metal directly.

Synthetic fiber underwear molten drop will cause serious burns, even if on the circumstance of without outer wear, electric arc will generate high temp which will melt the underwear made from synthetic fiber, because of it is cling to skin, however it will cause serious even deadly hurt to wearing.

So evaluating hazard degree to certain working environment, to provide suitable personal protective clothing has became common safety standard requirement in EU and US. Electric arc fabric and protective clothing produced by Xinxiang Yulong Textile Co.,Ltd. can bear 19252 degree centigrade instant high temperature, and when leaving open fire it will die out automatic, so that it can better protect human body from hazard.
