ELSEC electrical insulating protective gloves are intended for use only for electrical purposes as the basic personal protective equipment for work under voltage up to 1 kV or as additional protective equipment with a voltage higher than 1 kV.

ELSEC insulated protective gloves are anatomically shaped five-finger gloves manufactured from high-quality latex of natural rubber on an automated technological line. Each glove has its own individual number and is tested electrically on a computer-controlled measuring stand. The test certificate of the electrical tests carried out is attached to each pair of gloves. The ergonomic shape and flexibility of the glove allows you to work freely with anti-sweat insoles and protective leather gloves.

Protective insulating gloves have according to PN-EN 60903: 2006
(EN 60903: 2003 + AC2: 2005) category RC and are characterized by increased resistance:
R – resistant to acid, oil, ozone;
C – resistant to extremely low temperature.

Category R combines the characteristics of categories A, H and Z:
A – resistant to acid
H – resistant to oil
Z – resistant to ozone

Electrical insulating gloves are produced in five sizes:
8, 9, 10, 11 and 12

Gloves were tested for thermal effects of electric arc in accordance with the requirements of the following standards:
1 / PN-EN 61482-1-1: 2009
2 / ASTM F2675 / F2575M – 13

Performing specific actions when working under voltage may result in mechanical damage to electric insulation gloves. Commonly used electrical insulating gloves are made of latex, which has relatively low mechanical resistance to punctures or cuts. Therefore, it is required to use protective gloves put on electrical insulating gloves. During work on live systems, ergonomics is very important. Often, the fitter works wearing three pairs of gloves at the same time: sweat-absorbing cotton insert, electrical insulating glove and leather glove. In this case, work ergonomics can be satisfactory only if, the shape and thickness of all types of gloves, including protective gloves, will be suited to electrical insulating gloves. Commercially-available leather gloves for protection against mechanical damage are not covered by the requirements relating to exposure to voltage or current and particularly to exposure to electric arc and the accompanying high temperatures. Furthermore, the standards that apply to protective gloves do not define such important parameters as the resistance to high temperature or moisture absorption by the protective glove material. Therefore, the method of selection of protective gloves for work on live systems is not specified by the standards and regulations and is often intuitive, because it depends on the experience and knowledge of the fitter or technical supervision.
