                                The Arc  Suppression  Blanket  is  used  as  a  barrier for  protection  from  the  explosive  and  incendiary effects of electrical arcs and flashes. These hazardous electrical discharges can be  caused  by  faults in cables, in cable splices and joints, and at transformer terminals, or they may be generated by the operation of switch gear, circuit breakers and lightning arrestors.
