Salisbury as2000hat-pp Arc Flash Hood 20 Cal/sq Cm

Product Description

The SALISBURY as2000hat-pp is an arc flash hood designed to protect electrical workers from arc flash hazards rated at an ATPV of 20 calories per square centimeter. The clear faceshield uses nanotechnology to deliver improved transparency, better color recognition, and reduced visual distortion through a double curved lens. A frameless design expands the viewing area by over 20 percent compared to standard hoods. The weight-balancing frame reduces neck strain during extended wear, making it practical for longer service intervals. This hood is specified and worn by licensed electricians and electrical contractors working on energized equipment where arc flash PPE is required under NFPA 70E.

The as2000hat-pp is suited for commercial and industrial electrical maintenance tasks where arc-rated PPE at the 20 cal/sq cm level is required. Typical applications include work on motor control centers, switchgear, panel boards, and other energized electrical equipment. The vented design supports extended use in environments where ambient lighting may be limited. It is appropriate wherever NFPA 70E or applicable workplace safety standards mandate arc flash protection at or within this calorie rating.

Key Features

• ATPV rating of 20 calories per square centimeter for arc flash protection
• Double curved lens reduces visual distortion and eye strain
• Frameless design increases viewing area by over 20 percent
• Nanotechnology shield provides improved transparency and color recognition in low-light conditions
• Scratch resistance is three times greater than the original Prismshield lens
• Vented construction allows longer wear periods without overheating
• Weight-balancing frame minimizes neck strain during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as an arc flash hood for use in electrical PPE programs requiring 20 cal/sq cm rated head and face protection, consistent with NFPA 70E arc flash PPE Category 2 requirements.

Installation Notes

This hood is donned and removed by qualified electrical workers before and after work on energized equipment. Always de-energize and verify absence of voltage where safe and feasible before beginning work. When energized work is authorized, ensure the full arc flash PPE ensemble meets or exceeds the incident energy level determined by the arc flash hazard analysis. Inspect the faceshield for cracks, deep scratches, or damage before each use and remove from service if compromised.
