LYNGSØE RAIN TROUSERS - CLASS 2

Lyngsøe Rain Trousers, Class 2 Arc Protection (ARC-LR2714)

The Lyngsøe Rain Trousers are arc-rated waterproof overtrousers for substation, switchroom and overhead-line work where the weather does not wait for the switching schedule. They carry Class 2 electric arc protection under IEC 61482-2, so they sit properly inside an arc flash PPE programme rather than beside it. New to arc ratings? Our guide to what arc flash is covers the basics.

Standards and Protection

These are multi-norm trousers, which matters on sites where one garment must answer several hazards at once:

• IEC 61482-2, Electric Arc Class 2, protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc
• EN 1149-5 and EN 1149-3, antistatic material performance
• EN ISO 11612, protection against heat and flame
• EN 13034, limited protection against liquid chemicals
• EN ISO 20471, high-visibility clothing for professional use
• EN 343, protection against rain

That combination suits MV switching, outdoor substation maintenance and line work where rain, flame and arc risk turn up together. Pair the trousers with an arc-rated jacket and face protection from our arc flash protection range, matched to the incident energy on your switchgear label.

FAQs

What does Class 2 arc protection mean on these trousers?

Class 2 refers to the box test method under IEC 61482-1-2, the higher of the two box test classes, and the garment is certified to IEC 61482-2 for clothing against electric arc thermal hazards. Always match the full PPE set to your site incident energy assessment.

Are they waterproof enough for all-day outdoor work?

They are rated waterproof to 8,000 mm with 8,000 Mvp breathability and certified to EN 343 for rain protection, so they handle sustained Irish rain while letting body moisture escape during physical work. For prolonged heavy exposure, consider the full garment system, jacket included, rather than the trousers alone.
