Insulating gloves

The electrical insulating gloves manufactured by KCL are designed to protect hands from electric arc and, despite being made from rubber, they are claimed not to melt under these adverse conditions.

The gloves are available from Class 00 (suitable for work up to 500 V) to Class 3 (up to 26,500 V). The different working voltage is determined by the glove’s specifically designed wall thickness. For example, a Class 00 glove is 0.5 mm thick, a Class 0 glove is 1 mm thick and a Class 3 glove is 2.9 mm thick. All gloves in the range are 410 mm in length, except the Class 00 gloves, which are available in short (290 mm) or long (360 mm) versions. The gloves are available in sizes 9, 10 and 11.

Like all electrical insulating gloves, these gloves do not have high puncture resistance. It is recommended that a leather outer glove be worn for mechanical protection in addition to these gloves.
