Key Features of Arc Flash Composite Gloves:

1. Composite Construction:

   • Material Layers: Arc flash gloves are made from a combination of materials that include rubber for electrical insulation and outer protective layers for mechanical strength and arc flash resistance.
   • Multiple Layers: These gloves typically have multiple layers, with an inner layer providing electrical insulation and an outer layer that offers protection against mechanical hazards and arc flash energy.
     
     

2. Arc Flash Protection:

   • High Arc Rating: These gloves are tested and rated according to their ability to withstand arc flash incidents, often measured in calories per square centimeter (cal/cm²). The higher the rating, the better the protection.
   • Thermal Resistance: They offer protection from the extreme heat generated by an arc flash, which can reach temperatures of up to 35,000°F (19,400°C).
     
     
     

3. Electrical Insulation:

   • Voltage Rating: Arc flash composite gloves are often rated for specific voltage levels, providing electrical insulation to protect against shock hazards. They are commonly used for tasks involving low to medium voltage applications.
     
     

4. Mechanical Durability:

   • Cut and Puncture Resistance: The outer layers of these gloves are designed to resist cuts, punctures, and abrasions, offering protection against sharp objects and rough surfaces.
   • Grip and Dexterity: Despite their protective layers, these gloves are designed to allow for sufficient dexterity and grip, making them practical for detailed electrical work.
     
     

5. Compliance and Standards:

   • ASTM F2675/F2675M: This standard specifies the test method for determining the arc rating of gloves, ensuring they provide adequate protection.
   • NFPA 70E: Compliance with this standard is critical for gloves used in environments where arc flash hazards are present, as it outlines the requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) in electrical work.

Applications:

• Electrical Maintenance and Repair: Used by electricians and maintenance workers when performing tasks on live electrical equipment or during situations where de-energizing systems is not possible.
• Utility Workers: Essential for utility workers who are involved in the installation, repair, and maintenance of electrical power lines and other high-voltage systems.
• Industrial Environments: Commonly used in industrial settings where there is a risk of arc flash incidents, such as in power generation plants, manufacturing facilities, and refineries.
  
  

Safety Considerations:

• Inspection Before Use: Always inspect the gloves for any damage, wear, or contamination before use to ensure they provide the expected level of protection.
• Proper Fit: Ensure the gloves fit properly to avoid any restrictions in movement and to maintain dexterity.
• Training: Workers should be trained in the correct use and limitations of arc flash composite gloves to maximize their effectiveness.
  
  

Arc flash composite gloves are a critical component of personal protective equipment for anyone working in environments with potential electrical hazards, providing a high level of protection against the dangers of arc flashes and electrical shocks.

We supply insulated gloves (also known as Electrician’s Gloves or Electric Gloves) from CLASS 00 to CLASS 4, along with all corresponding accessories such as over-gloves for mechanical protection, glove under liners, storage bags and boxes. The ergonomic shape of the glove and its slightly powdered interior makes it easy donning (putting on) and doffing (taking off). The natural rubber provides dielectric properties, while our technique and expertise allow us to make gloves as thin as possible in order to offer the maximum level of dexterity to the users. 

Take care to choose the correct rubber insulating glove for the task at hand and level of electrical exposure. Rubber insulating gloves are available in six specific voltage classes (Class 00 – Class 4), and other rubber insulating products are also available in different voltage classes as well.

1. Class 00 low voltage gloves are proof-tested at 2,500 volts for a maximum use 500 volts
2. Class 0 low voltage gloves are proof-tested at 5,000 volts for a maximum use 1,000 volts
3. Class 1 high voltage gloves are proof-tested at 10,000 volts for a maximum use 7,500 volts
4. Class 2 high voltage gloves are proof-tested at 20,000 volts for a maximum use 17,000 volts
5. Class 3 high voltage gloves are proof-tested at 30,000 volts for a maximum use 26,500 volts
6. Class 4 high voltage gloves are proof-tested at 40,000 volts for a maximum use 36,000 volts
