Electrical Insulation Rubber Gloves

Electrical Insulation Rubber Gloves are critical PPE used on ships, typically range from Class 00 (up to 500V AC) to Class 2 (up to 17,500V AC), depending on the voltage of the equipment being maintained on board.

  • From Class 00 to Class 2
  • Natural latex or rubber
  • Comply with EN 60903 standards

Electrical Insulation Rubber Gloves are designed with high dielectric strength to protect crew members from electric shocks during high-voltage maintenance, these rubber insulating gloves must be used with leather protectors and inspected before each use.

Description

Introduction:

Electrical Insulation Rubber Gloves are typically categorized 6 classes by voltage capacity, from class 00 (500V AC) to class 4 (36000V AC),  and must comply with international standards for dielectric strength, mechanical properties, and ozone resistance under EN60903/IEC60903 standards, with common IMPA codes 795531 and 795532.

Application on Board:

  • Class 00 (Max 500V AC): Low voltage maintenance, such as small electronics or electrical control circuits. Often red.
  • Class 0 (Max 1,000V AC): General shipboard electrical maintenance (common lighting/power panels).
  • Class 1 (Max 7,500V AC): High-voltage electrical work, such as high-voltage switchboards or medium voltage equipment maintenance.
