The ProGARM 6100 is an arc flash coverall rated to Class 1 with an EBT50 of 9.5 cal/cm², made from lightweight 250g/m² VXS+ inherent flame resistant fabric. Anti-static, with reflective tape and a mandarin collar, it suits electricians, authorised persons and maintenance teams working in switchrooms and substations.
ProGARM 6100 Arc Flash Coverall, Class 1, 9.5 cal/cm²
The ProGARM 6100 is one of the best-selling arc flash coveralls in the range, and it is easy to see why. It pairs certified Class 1 arc protection, with an EBT50 of 9.5 cal/cm² under the open arc test, with a lightweight 250g/m² VXS+ inherent flame resistant fabric your team will actually wear all day. The FR properties are inherent to the fibre, so they do not wash out over the life of the garment.
For switching and maintenance work where your arc flash study or risk assessment calls for protection at this level, the 6100 covers the requirement without the bulk of a heavier switching suit.

FAQs
Is 9.5 cal/cm² enough protection for our switchroom?
That depends on the incident energy at each location, which only an arc flash study or risk assessment can tell you. Class 1 with an EBT50 of 9.5 cal/cm² suits many LV and lower-energy MV tasks, but higher-energy switching may need a higher-rated suit. We can carry out an arc flash study to confirm.
Do the flame resistant properties wash out?
No. The VXS+ fabric is inherently flame resistant, meaning the protection is built into the fibre rather than applied as a chemical treatment. It lasts the lifetime of the garment, provided the coverall is laundered and maintained according to the manufacturer’s care instructions.
