Overview

Facility Construction in Louisville, KY is Complete

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn to minimize hazardous exposure and injuries when other engineering and institutional controls have failed. It is used across a variety of industries and provides a barrier to help protect those wearing it.

Connectors and other overhead line components operate at high temperatures to meet the ever-increasing load growth of existing and future electrical systems. This elevated temperature can accelerate the aging process of these components, making the issue of lifetime performance a critical concern. It is important to ensure these components are operating reliably to avoid downed lines and extensive disruption of power to customers.

Located in Louisville, KY, our new facility, staffed by industry experts, brings together ArcWear’s newly expanded PPE testing services and an overhead line component testing service division to meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
