The OEL AFW026-40KA Arc Suppression Blanket is designed to act as a barrier against the explosive and incendiary effects of electrical arcs and flashes. It supports worker protection in locations with potential exposure to explosive electrical discharges, such as underground vaults and switchyards, by providing a shielding layer between the arc source and personnel or nearby equipment.
Constructed with blue material and equipped with hooking loops, this blanket is sized for practical handling and placement in field conditions. The product is documented with a color specification of Blue and is listed as compliant with ASTM F2676, indicating alignment with recognized performance criteria for arc suppression blankets. The package size is listed as Each, suggesting individual, stand-alone use per unit rather than a bulk bundle.
When selecting arc-suppression blankets, it’s important to consider the specific working environment and the potential arc energy. This model’s 40 kA rating indicates suitability for certain high-energy scenarios, but buyers should verify compatibility with their system’s voltage, fault current, and installation practices as described in the cited spec sheet. The included spec sheet link provides detailed technical data for planning and comparison. The product is sold through The Safety Source, which offers secure ordering and assistance if needed.
In terms of maintenance and handling, the blue color and hooks facilitate visibility and quick deployment during an incident or routine safety rehearsals. Since the packaging is listed as Each, ensure adequate inventory management for frequent replacements or inspections as part of a broader electrical-safety program.
