Product Description

Rubber Insulated gloves (1000v ? 33000v)




Function


Protective insulating gloves are made of natural latex & are used when working under live, high voltage conditions up to 33 Kv. They are worn in-conjunction with the Arc Flash Suits & protective boots.

The gloves have an anatomical design, great flexibility in different thicknesses & anti-bacterial treatment which provides additional protection for the skin and particularly important when wearing gloves for extended periods.

Latex gloves must be used in conjunction with a leather overglove, these electrical gloves offer protection against cutting or tearing.

Latex gloves offer the widest range of conditions for live-line use from 500 to 36 000 volts. They are divded into different classes, as seen below :

Class 00 - 500 Volts (max)
Class 0 - 1000 Volts (max)
Class 1 - 7500 Volts (max)
Class 2 - 17 000 Volts (max)
Class 3 - 26 500 Volts (max)
Class 4 - 36 000 Volts (max)
