Question 1

What is the BSD HRC3 Arc Flash gloves, 31Cal/Cm2 and what makes them stand out?

Accepted Answer

These are arc flash resistant leather gloves designed for high protection, rated ATPV 31 cal/cm² with a W(LBP) of 395 kJ, and tested for mechanical and thermal risks. The soft, flexible leather provides a comfortable fit while maintaining strong protection for electrical tasks.

Question 2

What standards and ratings are these gloves tested to?

Accepted Answer

They are tested to IEC 61482-1-1 and IEC 61482-1-2 (class 2/ APC 2) for arc flash, with ATPV 31 cal/cm² and W(LBP) 395 kJ. They are also tested for mechanical protection per EN 388:2003 and thermal protection per EN 407:2004.

Question 3

What do ATPV and LBP mean in the glove’s specifications?

Accepted Answer

ATPV stands for Arc Thermal Protective Value and indicates the estimated heat exposure the glove can withstand. LBP refers to a specific energy-based test parameter used during arc flash evaluation, with this glove showing 395 kJ in that test.

Question 4

What applications are these arc flash gloves best suited for?

Accepted Answer

They are designed for tasks involving electric arc hazards, such as electrical maintenance, panel commissioning, and live-line work where high protection and dexterity are needed.

Question 5

How should I inspect and prepare the gloves before use?

Accepted Answer

Before use, examine the gloves for any cuts, tears, punctures, discoloration, or leather hardness. Ensure seams are intact and there are no signs of wear that could compromise protection. If you notice damage, replace them before work.

Question 6

What care and maintenance help extend the gloves’ life?

Accepted Answer

Keep the gloves clean and dry; wipe with a damp cloth if needed and avoid solvents or harsh cleaners. Store them away from direct heat and sunlight. Regularly inspect for wear and replace when signs of damage appear.

Question 7

Can these gloves provide both arc flash protection and mechanical/thermal protection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. They are designed for arc flash protection and have EN 388 (mechanical) and EN 407 (thermal) testing, offering a balance of arc protection with mechanical and thermal resistance for versatile use.

Question 8

What sizes or fit options are typically available for these gloves?

Accepted Answer

Leather arc flash gloves are usually offered in multiple sizes to fit a range of hand shapes. The gloves are designed for a snug, flexible fit to preserve dexterity while maintaining protection.

Question 9

How does BSD HRC3 compare to the higher protection BSD HRC4 gloves?

Accepted Answer

BSd HRC4 gloves generally provide higher arc flash protection (greater ATPV rating) than HRC3, suitable for more demanding arc scenarios. See the alternative product here: https://fepy.com/product/bsd-hrc4-arc-flash-gloves-40cal

Question 10

How does BSD HRC3 compare to the lower protection BSD HRC2 gloves?

Accepted Answer

BSd HRC2 gloves offer lower arc flash protection (lower ATPV) than HRC3. If your tasks involve lower exposure, HRC2 can be a lighter, more economical option. See the alternative product here: https://fepy.com/product/bsd-hrc2-arc-flash-gloves-25cal

Question 11

Is this glove a good value for the protection it provides compared with other options on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

For high-heat arc flash protection combined with flexible leather and EN 388/EN 407 ratings, this glove offers strong protection and comfort, making it a solid choice for demanding electrical tasks. Compare features and ratings with other Fepy arc flash gloves to assess the best fit for your needs.
