Arc hazard assessment software

ArcPro arc hazard assessment software is designed to aid in the selection of protective clothing by defining the arc hazard for workers who may be accidentally exposed to electrical arcs. The software provides users with calculations, including heat exposure, total heat flux, and heat energy on a surface, at various distances from an electric arc. Users can then specify clothing that will withstand the level of predicted arc hazards.
