TRANEMO 5940 92 ARC RATED T-SHIRT LONG SLEEVES - 7.0 CAL/CM²

Tranemo 5940 92 Arc Rated T-Shirt, Long Sleeves, 7.0 cal/cm²

The Tranemo 5940 92 is a flame retardant, arc rated long sleeve T-shirt designed to be worn as a base layer under arc flash workwear. It carries an EBT50 rating of 7.0 cal/cm² and meets IEC 61482-2 Class 1, so it contributes tested arc protection right at the skin, where a cotton underlayer would otherwise ignite or melt. Round neck, long sleeves, nothing complicated. That is rather the point of a base layer.

Standards and Protection Ratings

The T-shirt is certified to three relevant standards, covering flame spread, heat exposure, arc flash and electrostatic behaviour:

• IEC 61482-2 Class 1, the clothing standard for protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, with an EBT50 value of 7.0 cal/cm²
• EN ISO 11612 A1 B1 C1 F1, covering limited flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat and contact heat
• EN 1149-5, the electrostatic requirements for protective clothing

If you are unsure how an arc rated base layer fits into your PPE selection, our guide to selecting appropriate arc flash PPE explains how layers combine, and the basics are covered in our arc flash information section.

Fabric, Sizes and Colour

Where It Is Used

Worn under arc rated coveralls, jackets or switching suits in MV and LV switchrooms, substations and generating stations. At 235 g/m² the fabric is light enough to wear comfortably under outer layers through a full shift, which matters, because PPE that gets taken off protects nobody.

FAQs

Can this T-shirt be worn on its own as arc flash PPE?

It is rated to IEC 61482-2 Class 1 with an EBT50 of 7.0 cal/cm², so it provides tested arc protection in its own right. Whether it is sufficient on its own depends on the incident energy at your equipment, which your arc flash study or risk assessment determines. It is most commonly worn as a base layer beneath higher-rated outer garments.

What sizes and colours are available?
