The Lyngsøe ARC-LR2730 rain jacket is a waterproof hi-vis jacket carrying Class 2 arc flash protection to IEC 61482-2. Made from 99% polyester and 1% carbon grid fabric with Kromotex, it suits authorised persons, utility staff and contractors needing weatherproof arc-rated outerwear outdoors.
Lyngsøe ARC-LR2730 Class 2 Arc-Rated Rain Jacket
The Lyngsøe ARC-LR2730 is a waterproof hi-vis rain jacket that carries Class 2 arc flash protection to IEC 61482-2, so it deals with Irish weather and the thermal hazard of an electric arc in the same garment. The fabric is 99% polyester and 1% carbon grid with Kromotex.
That matters outdoors. Wearing a flame-resistant jacket under a separate rainshell is a layering compromise; here the arc rating and the weatherproofing sit in one garment, which is what authorised persons and contractors want for outdoor switching and maintenance. It sits within our wider arc flash protection range, alongside the dedicated arc flash waterproof PPE category.
Key Features
- Detachable hood
- Four outer secure pockets
- Velcro adjustable sleeves and drawstring hem for a snug fit
- Front zip with velcro storm flap
- Hi-Viz Orange or Saturn Yellow colour options

IEC 61482-2 covers protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, with Class 2 the higher of the two box test levels, tested at 7 kA. If you are unsure which class your incident energy assessment calls for, our arc flash information pages explain the basics.
When to Use It
For outdoor switching, inspections and maintenance where rain and arc flash risk overlap: substation yards, overhead lines, and generator or data-centre compounds. Weatherproofing is the jacket’s job; build the rest of the PPE system around it with arc-rated layers underneath.
FAQs
What does Class 2 arc protection mean?
IEC 61482-2 rates protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc using the box test method. Class 2 is the higher of the two pass levels, tested at 7 kA. The rating applies to the whole garment, so confirm the required class from your incident energy assessment before choosing between Class 1 and Class 2 clothing.
Is this jacket arc rated or just flame resistant?
Both, based on the manufacturer’s published data. The jacket is arc rated to IEC 61482-2 Class 2, meets EN ISO 11612 for heat and flame protection, and EN 1149 for electrostatic behaviour. Arc rated and flame resistant are different claims; this garment holds both, which suits wet-weather switching work.
