Arc Flash Labels	With a DuraLabel Label Printer, you can quickly and conveniently print required electrical shock and arc flash warning labels,as required by NEC Section 110.16 and NFPA 70E-2009 130.3(C).
	DuraLabel Supplies offers three types of arc flash labels. Each are designed to provide the flexibility necessary to meet an individual facility's standards and requirements. Plus, they're designed to meet OSHA standards and can help turn your facility into a safer workplace.

1. Arc Flash Die-Cut Labels

Die-cut for hi-volume batch-printings and "peel-and-stick" application, DuraLabel Arc Flash Labels come preprinted with two popularly used headers. Choose either a red "DANGER" header or an orange "WARNING" header to mark arc flash hazards. Both are available with or without a border bar (shown right).

All of DuraLabel's Arc Flash Labels are specially formatted for easy printing with DuraLabel's Industrial Labeling Software (ILS). Each DuraLabel Printer comes bundled with ILS, making it easy to print professional looking labels with all the required NFPA 70E information.

Large Format Sizes: DuraLabel Supplies now offers Arc Flash Label's in dimensions up to 7" tall and 10.5" wide. With the proper DuraLabel printer, signs are easy-to-read— even at a distance.

2. Striped Vinyl Supply

Striped Vinyl Supply provides a continuous vinyl with either a red or orange stripe. Custom designed headers can then be printed with a DuraLabel Printer onto the colored stripe. A large white panel, below the stripe provides space for details and pictograms.

Striped Vinyl Supply provides greater design flexibility, since supplies come in a continuous length so you decide the width you need.

3. Continuous Vinyl Supply

When combined with white Continuous Vinyl Supply for the panel, orange or red vinyl supply colors can be used to make large Arc Flash Label signs. This provides the freedom to expand the size of this critical hazard warning to very large sizes.

Just pick the colors you want and tile them as tall or wide as you want. DuraLabel's ILS software is designed to print tiled labels and easily divides prints across multiple rows of tape so they combine to make a professional looking larger sign.

What Is Arc Flash?

An arc flash occurs when an electrical short-circuit produces a high-energy, high-temperature explosion. These occurrences are known to propel molten metal and other debris through the air, endangering anyone nearby. Explosions of this nature can damage a person’s eyesight, hearing and even cause severe burning or death.

Arc flashes are not limited to a specific equipment or utility type. Any electrical device utilizing 50V or more is capable of producing an arc flash. Breakers, MCCs, switchboards, transformers, drive cabinets and any other electrical devices presenting an arc flash hazard should be properly identified with Arc Flash Warning Labels. Mechanics, electricians, cleaning staff or operating personnel (i.e. anyone passing near electrical equipment) can be exposed to an arc flash explosion.
