Abstract:

This ETL provides minimum arc flash PPE for electricians working on overhead high-voltage HV lines 69 kilovolts kV nominal or less. Proper arc flash PPE is required in conjunction with other high-voltage PPE while de-energizing a circuit, re-energizing after work is complete, and in those rare occasions when the authority in Air Force Instruction AFI 32-1064, Electrical Safe Practices, authorizes work on energized electrical equipment or lines.
