The Tranemo 5736 88 arc flash jacket protects against thermal arc hazards to IEC 61482-2 Class 1, with an ATPV of 11.9 cal/cm². Part of the Cantex range, it suits authorised persons, utility engineers and switching crews who need tested, comfortable arc-rated workwear in 350 g/m² fabric.
Tranemo 5736 88 Arc Flash Jacket, Class 1
The Tranemo 5736 88 is an arc flash protection jacket from the Cantex 57 range, rated to IEC 61482-2 Class 1 with an ATPV of 11.9 cal/cm². That covers a wide slice of everyday MV and LV switching work, and the rating lifts to Class 2 when the jacket is worn as part of the full Cantex garment and underwear system. Its EN ISO 11612 flame spread and EN 1149-5 electrostatic ratings give it useful breadth beyond the arc flash rating alone.

Getting Class 2
On its own this jacket is Class 1. Worn as a full-body double layer combination with Cantex underwear, the system is approved to IEC 61482-2 Class 2. That matters on sites where the arc flash study or task risk assessment calls for a higher class. Browse the arc flash jackets and trousers range if you need matching trousers or a higher ATPV.
