The Tranemo 6030 81 is a non-metal arc flash jacket in Tera TX fabric, rated IEC 61482-2 Class 1 with an EBT50 of 9.5 cal/cm². Designed for electricians and authorised persons working around live switchgear, it carries no metal components and suits sites with non-conductive PPE requirements.
Tranemo 6030 81 Non-Metal Arc Flash Jacket, Class 1, 9.5 cal/cm²
The Tranemo 6030 81 is a non-metal flame retardant jacket for workers exposed to arc flash risk, rated to IEC 61482-2 Class 1 with an EBT50 of 9.5 cal/cm². Every closure is non-metallic, so it suits switchrooms, substations and industrial sites where non-conductive PPE is specified, and where a stray metal zip or stud near live conductors is simply not acceptable.
Fabric and Protection Ratings
The jacket is made from Tera TX, an inherently flame retardant fabric at 260 g/m² with a limiting oxygen index of 29.8%. Because the protection is built into the fibre rather than applied as a finish, it does not wash out over the garment’s working life. Confirmed ratings from the manufacturer datasheet:
| Standard / Rating | Result |
|---|---|
| IEC 61482-2 (arc flash) | Class 1 |
| Arc rating | EBT50: 9.5 cal/cm² |
| EN ISO 11612 (heat and flame) | A1 B1 C1 F1 |
| EN 1149-5 | Electrostatic properties |
| EN 13034 | Type PB[6] limited chemical splash |
| Fabric | Tera TX, 260 g/m², LOI 29.8% |
| Sizes / Colour | XS to 4XL, yellow/navy |
The EN 1149-5 electrostatic rating matters around gas handling and ATEX-adjacent areas, and EN 13034 Type PB[6] gives limited protection against light chemical spray. Useful on pharmaceutical and data-centre sites, not just utility work.

Pair it with matching arc-rated trousers from our arc flash protection range for full body coverage. Unsure whether Class 1 and 9.5 cal/cm² covers the incident energy on your switchgear labels? Our arc flash study service will tell you, and the what is arc flash guide explains the basics.
FAQs
What does Class 1 under IEC 61482-2 mean?
It means the garment has passed the box test at 4 kA arc current, the lower of the two IEC 61482-2 classes. Combined with the EBT50 open-arc rating of 9.5 cal/cm², it tells you the incident energy the fabric is proven against. Always match the garment rating to your calculated incident energy.
Why specify a non-metal arc flash jacket?
Metal zips and studs can conduct fault current or become projectiles in an arc event, and some sites prohibit conductive items near live equipment entirely. The 6030 81 uses non-metallic closures throughout, meeting non-conductive PPE policies without compromising arc or flame protection.
