Safe use of insulating gloves

1nsulating gloves are made of special rubber with good insulating properties, which are required to be thin, soft, and have sufficient insulating strength and mechanical strength

insulating gloves can insulate people’s hands from electrified body, and prevent people from touching electrified body with the same potential or touching electrified body with the same potential or touching electrified body with different potential at the same time. Among the existing insulating safety appliances, they are widely used with the most amount. According to the raw materials used, it can be divided into rubber and latex insulated gloves

there are two specifications of insulating gloves: 12kV and 5kV. The test voltage of 12kV insulating gloves is 12kV. When working in the high-voltage area above 1kV, they can only be used as auxiliary safety protection equipment and shall not touch live equipment; When working in live working area below 1kV, it can be used as a basic safety appliance, that is, after wearing gloves, two hands can contact the electric equipment below 1KV (except other parts of the body) 5kV insulating gloves, which is suitable for electric power industry, industrial and mining enterprises and general low-voltage electrical equipment in rural areas. When working in the voltage area below 1kV, it is used as auxiliary safety equipment; 1t can be used as a basic safety tool in the working area with voltage below 250V. When working in the voltage area with voltage above 1kV, it is strictly prohibited to use this kind of insulating gloves< 1. 5kV resistant rubber insulating gloves: five finger gloves molded by insulating rubber sheet. Specification: length (380 (10) mm, thickness (1 (0.4) mm. 1t is suitable for electric power industry, industrial and mining enterprises and rural areas when using general low-voltage electrical equipment. When the voltage is below 1000V, it can be used as auxiliary safety protection equipment
