Electrical-Insulating Rubber Gloves
Electrical-insulating rubber gloves are designed to protect workers from electrical hazards and comply with ASTM D120 specifications and NFPA 70E guidelines. In order to protect workers from electrical shock, they are made of dielectric natural rubber. Electrically insulating rubber gloves can be classified according to their voltage class (Class) and their ozone resistance (Type). The voltage class of a glove indicates the maximum voltage it can handle. As a result, workers should use voltage class ratings that are compatible with the requirements of their worksite. A type I electrically insulating glove is not resistant to ozone. It is important to note that type II electrical-insulating gloves are resistant to cracking and degradation when exposed to high levels of ozone, such as those found in high-pollution areas.
Class 0 Electrical-Insulating Rubber Gloves
These electrical-insulating rubber gloves meet NFPA 70E Voltage Class 0 standards. Voltage Class 0 protects workers against voltages up to 1000VAC. Depending on the conditions of the workplace, workers should use a voltage class rating that complies with their needs. Electrical-insulating gloves of type I are not ozone resistant. When exposed to high levels of ozone, such as those found in high-pollution areas, type II electrical-insulating gloves will not crack or degrade.
Class 00 Electrical-Insulating Rubber Gloves
These electrical-insulating rubber gloves meet NFPA 70E Voltage Class 00 standards. Electrical-insulating gloves of Class 00 are the lowest class and protect workers against voltages up to 500 volts. It is important that workers use voltage class ratings that meet their work site's requirements. Electrical-insulating gloves of type I are not ozone-resistant. Electrical-insulating gloves of Type II resist cracking and degradation caused by exposure to high levels of ozone found in high-pollution areas.
Class 2 Electrical-Insulating Rubber Gloves
These electrical-insulating rubber gloves meet NFPA 70E Voltage Class 2 standards. Workers are protected from voltages up to 17,000 volts AC under Voltage Class 2. Depending on the requirements of the work site, workers should use a voltage class rating that is compatible with that rating. Electrical-insulating gloves of type I are not resistant to ozone. In high-pollution areas, electrical-insulating gloves of type II resist cracking and degradation caused by exposure to high levels of ozone.
