The Lyngsøe Hi-Viz Rain Jacket (ARC-LR4055) is an arc-rated, flame-retardant hi-vis rain jacket for substation and switchroom work in harsh weather. Tested to IEC 61482-2 Class 1 with an ATPV of 8.6 cal/cm², it is windproof, waterproof and antistatic, for utility, contractor and industrial electrical workers.
Lyngsøe Hi-Viz Rain Jacket, Class 1 (ARC-LR4055)
The Lyngsøe ARC-LR4055 is a hi-vis, arc-rated rain jacket built for outdoor electrical work in genuinely poor weather. It carries Electric Arc Class 1 under IEC 61482-2, with an ATPV of 8.6 cal/cm² and an ELIM of 7 cal/cm² under the open-arc test, so it gives verified thermal protection against an electric arc while keeping the wearer dry and visible. A sensible outer layer for switching, patrolling and maintenance work on MV and LV networks where rain is simply part of the job.
Protection and Standards
This is a multi-hazard garment, not just a waterproof. According to the manufacturer’s specification, the jacket conforms to the following:
| Standard | Rating |
|---|---|
| IEC 61482-2 (electric arc) | Class 1, ATPV 8.6 cal/cm², ELIM 7 cal/cm² |
| EN ISO 11612 (heat and flame) | A1, B1, C1 |
| EN ISO 20471 (hi-vis) | Class 3 |
| EN 343 (rain protection) | Windproof and waterproof |
| EN 1149-5 (electrostatic) | Antistatic |
The fabric is a heavy PVC/Pe-co quality at approximately 390 g/m², flame retardant and antistatic throughout. If you are unsure how arc ratings relate to the incident energy on your switchgear labels, our guide on what arc flash is explains the basics.
Features and Practical Details
- Large hood with drawstring, sized to fit over a safety helmet
- Hidden zip under a storm flap with press stud fastening
- Sleeves with press stud adjustment at the cuff
- Two patch pockets
- Reflective tape for visibility in low light
- Available in Hi-Vis Orange and Saturn Yellow, sizes S to 4XL
The jacket works well as the wet-weather outer layer over an arc-rated base, and it sits within our wider arc flash protection range. Class 1 suits lower incident-energy tasks; where your study shows higher values, talk to us about Class 2 options.
FAQs
Is this jacket arc rated or just flame resistant?
It is arc rated. The ARC-LR4055 is tested to IEC 61482-2 Electric Arc Class 1 with an ATPV of 8.6 cal/cm², so it has verified protection against the thermal effects of an electric arc, not just general flame resistance.
Can I wear it over other arc flash clothing?
Yes, it is designed as an outer rain layer over arc-rated base or mid layers. Layering does not simply add ATPV values together, so if your task requires a specific rating, confirm the combined system performance first.
