TRANEMO 5419 88 ARC FLASH JACKET - Class 1, 11.9 CAL/CM²

Tranemo 5419 88 Arc Flash Jacket, Class 1, 11.9 cal/cm²

The Tranemo 5419 88 is a flame retardant arc flash jacket built for people who work in and around energised switchgear. It carries an ATPV of 11.9 cal/cm² and is certified to IEC 61482-2 Class 1, so it sits comfortably in the PPE selection for most MV and LV switching tasks where the incident energy calculation supports a Class 1 garment. Combined with Cantex underwear, the system approves for IEC 61482-2 Class 2, worth knowing if your site labels sit above the single-layer rating.

Fabric and certification

The jacket is made from Cantex 1210 at 350 g/m², with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 34.3%. A substantial fabric, chosen for durability as much as protection. The certification set is broad, which makes the jacket useful beyond pure arc flash work:

• EN ISO 11612 A1+A2 B1 C1 E3 F1, heat and flame, including molten metal splash (E3)
• IEC 61482-2 Class 1, thermal hazards of an electric arc, ATPV 11.9 cal/cm²
• EN 1149-5, electrostatic dissipative properties
• EN ISO 11611 Class 1 A1+A2, welding and allied processes
• EN 13034 type PB[6], limited protection against liquid chemicals

Practical details

A working jacket, not a showpiece. Concealed front zip, contrast stitching, and a sensible pocket layout: chest pockets with flaps and a concealed keyring holder, a zipped mobile phone pocket, flapped side and sleeve pockets, and two large inside pockets. The extended back, adjustable waistband and cuffs, and actionback give free movement when reaching into a panel or racking a breaker.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for a 10 kV switchroom?

That depends on your incident energy study, not the voltage alone. At 11.9 cal/cm² ATPV and Class 1, the jacket covers many MV switching tasks, but you must match PPE to the calculated incident energy on the equipment label. Layered with Cantex underwear it approves for Class 2.

Can it be worn for welding work?

Yes. The jacket is certified to EN ISO 11611 Class 1 A1+A2 for welding and allied processes, alongside its arc flash and heat and flame ratings, so it suits mixed maintenance duties where both hazards appear.
