When performing testing of energized electrical equipment rated at 480V AC what type of gloves are required? Correct Answer Leather

Protective Glove:

  • Leather Glove Protectors - Leather protector gloves should always be worn over Rubber Insulating Gloves to provide the needed mechanical protection against cuts, abrasion and punctures.
  • Proper care of leather protectors is essential to user safety. Inspect them for metal particles, imbedded wire, abrasive materials or any substance that could physically damage the rubber gloves.
  • Do not use leather protectors alone for protection against electric shock. Serious injury or death could result. Always use proper rubber insulating gloves.
