The OEL AFW028-15KA Arc Suppression Blanket is a dedicated safety barrier designed to shield workers from the explosive and incendiary effects of electrical arcs and flashes. Primarily used in high-risk locations such as underground vaults and switchyards, this blanket provides a physical refuge to reduce exposure to arc blast and radiant heat during electrical faults.
Constructed to meet specific industry standards, the blanket features a blue color with hooking loops and is offered in a practical “each” package size for straightforward field deployment. A spec sheet is available to help operators verify compliance and performance requirements prior to adoption. Verified details indicate a color standard of blue and compliance with ASTM F2676, signaling alignment with established electrical safety test criteria for arc flash protective barriers.
When planning use, consider that arc suppression blankets are intended as a barrier between personnel and the arc event area. They are not a substitute for other protective practices or PPE where comprehensive arc-rated apparel and engineering controls are required. Compatibility with job-site configurations should be assessed, ensuring the blanket dimensions and mounting approach fit the exposure scenario and that the product is integrated into an overall arc protection strategy.
Packaging is listed as each, simplifying inventory and replacement planning. For procurement, the manufacturer part number is AFW028-15KA and the product is categorized under PPE. The included spec sheet can aid in confirming installation, handling, and maintenance considerations relevant to arc suppression equipment.
