The OEL AFW100SGHF-B is a switchgear hood assembly designed for arc-flash protection in high-risk electrical environments. This 100 Cal/cm² category 4 hood integrates with OEL 100 Cal clothing to provide a complete head-and-face barrier when working on energized gear. It features non-metallic, non-conductive materials and a standard switchgear-style silhouette, aiding compatibility with existing PPE configurations while helping to minimize conductive risks around arc events. The kit includes a 100 Cal premium clear HT lens with anti-scratch and anti-fogging coatings, a switchgear hood fabric, and a Class E rated hard hat, creating a cohesive system for arc-flash protection up to 100 cal/cm² under NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269 guidelines.
Construction emphasizes durability and visibility: the lens and hood are designed for reliability in challenging work conditions, with dual reinforced stitching and retro-fitted motion lighting and dual fan mounting features noted in the product features to enhance visibility and comfort during extended use. The fabric is described as an 11 oz triple-layered inherent premium blend, and the color is specified as brown, offering a practical, high-visibility option in electrical work settings.
Practical considerations include washing instructions that specify using bleach or hydrogen peroxide for maintenance, which may influence cleaning routines and fabric longevity. The product is documented as compliant with multiple safety standards relevant to arc-flash protection and electrical safe work practices, ensuring it is compatible with standard PPE programs that rely on Category 4 arc-flash protection. The package is listed as containing the hood unit, the premium lens, and a Class E hard hat, with each kit intended for individual use in protective ensembles that require coordinated head and face protection during arc-flash tasks.
