A is a high-voltage, portable temporary protective ground set used by electrical utility workers. Its name comes from its design purpose: to withstand the thermal energy (arc flash) released during a fault for a period measured in decades of cycles (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 cycles of a 60 Hz system — meaning 0.5 to 1.5 seconds). It is also called a "decade-rated" ground set or arc flash protection belt . decade flash belt
