This simulated arc flash event features a common 480-volt disconnect setup. On one side we have a mannequin dressed in arc-rated and flame-resistant (AR/FR) shirt and pants, made with GlenGuard. On the other side, Non-AR/Non-FR garments are on the mannequin. As demonstrated in the video, the Non-AR/Non-FR garments immediately ignite and melt onto the mannequin, as opposed to the proper PPE which self-extinguishes. For the Non-AR/Non-FR mannequin, an arc event such as this would have likely resulted in over 50% body burn. PPE is the last line of defense. Specifying the correct fabric and garments can save lives.
