IEC 61482-1-2: Protection against the Thermal Hazards of an Electric Arc (Box Test) |
|
This standard sets out the specifications for materials and clothing designed to protect the wearer from the risks associated with electric arcs.
Two categories of protection are available:
Class 1:
Electric arc lasting time = 0.5 second, applied current = 4kA
Class 2:
Electric arc lasting time = 0.5 second, applied current = 7kA |
|
|
Only when fulfill all the requirements below can claim to be in compliance with ENIEC 61482-1-2 |
|
Applied electric arc current |
4kA (Class 1) |
Arc duration |
500ms |
Voltage of open test circuit |
400V |
Copper/aluminium electrodes |
