HelmetArc Flash Protection

Safety and comfort for electrical workers

UNTIL TODAY:While arc flash is one of the top safety hazards of linesmen and electrical workers, often causing significant eye damage and the loss of situational awareness on the job, most personal protective equipment is designed to protect workers from debris and heat – but not light.

NEW:voltcap® hard eye and face protection has been developed to offer thorough security appropriate to the hazard risk category. It provides linemen and electrical workers with active protection against arc flash for their eyes, in addition to head and face protection. Using optrel’s innovative optical lens technology, voltcap® hard’s autodarkening lens reacts quicker than a blink of the eye to light flashes, immediately protecting linesmen’s eyes before any other body part. In contrast to clear visors, voltcap® hard protects the eyes from temporary blindness and permanent eye damage. The Arc Flash Helmet is to be used with MSA Class E V Guard hard hats (sold separately).

Innovative protection against thermal and optical effects of an arc flash.

TRUE-COLOR VIEWThe specially coated lens allows a realistic perception of colors and a clear view of the environment. Colored wires can easily be identified in open/inactive state without lifting the mask.

ACTIVE EYE PROTECTIONThe innovative autodarkening lens reacts quicker than the blink of an eye, immediately closing its shutter before the shock wave of light reaches the eye - protecting the eyes before any other body part.

PROTECTION AND COMFORTThe mask offers maximum protection in combination with the MSA V-Gard® Protective Cap. voltcap® hard is one of the lightest eye and face PPE for electrical workers. Its ergonomic design minimizes strain on the head and neck, ensuring comfort throughout the work day. voltcap® hard’s LCD autodarkening lens and washable textile (Style FR-Tex CA 350, Arc rated) are thermally resistive to destruction or ignition when exposed to intense heat and light.

The normal world of the electrical worker - his yellow/green tinted environment. Colored wires can’t be recognized clearly.
