The use of dielectric gloves

In Spain it is compulsory to let an installation without voltage before doing a work and put the voltage back at end of the work. With this purpose are the dielectric gloves made. They are insulating gloves that protect our hands from the manipulation of electrical installations and works from 500 to 36.000 volts. They are fabricated in accordance to regulations: UNE-EN60903:2005 and glove marking CEI 60903:2002

Juba dielectric gloves are from natural latex and offers good sensibility and ergonomic. We commercialized different classes depending on the maximum voltage needed. In this way, we have clase 00 (500 volts), clase 0 (1000 volts), clase 1 (7500 volts) clase 2 (17.000 volts), clase 3 (26.500 volts) and finally clase 4 (36.000 volts) The model clase00 is the only one to have category A, Z, C (resistant to acids, ozone and very low temperatures), the remaining are category R, C (resistant to acids, oils, ozone and very low temperatures)

Dielectric gloves should be used with another leather glove for a mechanical protection. We recommend using dielectrics also with an interior Nomex ® glove with fire-resistant properties, for a better comfort and hygiene. Furthermore they protect from electrical burns and avoid that the external glove remain adhered to the skin.

Before using the gloves you have to verify them visually and test the tightness. It is compulsory to check them regularly. Juba commercialized some chests to protect them and a test machine to verify that the glove does not have any defect before the use. For more information about this type of gloves you can click here.
