| Post subject: | Highest Arc Rating of PPE |
PPE manufacturers continue to push the envelope of arc ratings with some over 100 cal/cm2 This week’s question is simple. What is the highest arc rating of PPE that you/clients use? 8 cal/cm2 12 cal/cm2 40 cal/cm2 65 cal/cm2 Over 65 cal/cm2 Doesn’t Apply |

I have customers using 65 and greater PPE, however they have an operational limit of 40. In their minds they need a safety margin. |
