Arc Flash Protective Face Shield
An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy that occurs when there is a fault in an electrical system which can result in an electric arc. This arc produces intense heat and light, as well as a blast of pressure and sound waves. Equipment failure, dust, corrosion, unintentional contact, or even fallen tools can cause this.
Arc flashes are hotter than the sun's surface, with temperatures as high as 35,000°F (19,426°C). It produces a powerful energy explosion that produces molten metal spray, fire, a loud blast, and blinding light.
