* The V-TEC Arc-Flash PFL has undergone arc exposure as stated within ASTM F887, where the PFL was exposed to an electrical arc of 40 cal/cm2 and it did not exhibit any signs of melting, dripping, or ignition of any system component during or after testing. Following exposure the V-TEC Arc-Flash PFL was successfully tested to the appropriate industry standard ensuring reliability in the event of a fall. |
