Pro-safe PS-KC-51 Arc Flash Hood Hrc 2 Universal Carbonx

Product Description

The PRO-SAFE PS-KC-51 is a flame-resistant arc flash hood designed to protect the head and face of electricians and safety personnel working in environments with arc flash exposure. Constructed from CarbonX material, this hood carries a Hazard Risk Category (HRC) 2 rating and provides a maximum arc flash protection of 23.0 cal/cm2. The universal fit accommodates a wide range of head sizes, making it practical for jobsite safety programs where standardized PPE inventory is required. It ships as a single unit and is ready for immediate deployment in industrial, utility, and commercial electrical work applications.

This hood is suited for electrical maintenance, switchgear servicing, and panel work where NFPA 70E arc flash PPE requirements apply. HRC 2 rated gear is typically required when incident energy analysis or the PPE category method identifies tasks in the 8 to 25 cal/cm2 range. The PS-KC-51 is appropriate for use by licensed electricians, industrial maintenance technicians, and safety professionals performing energized electrical work at the commercial and industrial level.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental component for HRC 2 arc flash PPE ensembles used in commercial and industrial electrical applications per NFPA 70E guidelines.

Installation Notes

This hood is donned and doffed by the qualified worker prior to and following energized electrical tasks — it is not permanently installed. Always verify the complete arc flash PPE ensemble meets the incident energy level identified in the arc flash hazard analysis before beginning work. Inspect the hood for tears, burns, or degraded material before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Laundering and care should follow the manufacturer's flame-resistant garment care instructions to maintain arc rating performance.
