Rubber Gloves For Live Line Working Upto 40kV

WH Salisbury Rubber Gloves For Live Line Working Upto 40kV

These Rubber Gloves are high-voltage insulating gloves designed for live-line work on overhead or underground power systems, rated to safely handle voltages up to 40 kV (phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase, depending on system configuration). They form a critical part of an electrical worker’s personal protective equipment (PPE), providing a dielectric barrier to protect against electrical shock while working on live conductors or energized equipment.

Their design and construction comply with recognised standards for insulating gloves, ensuring reliable dielectric performance, durability, and compliance for high-voltage work.

Class 0 - 1kV
Class 1 - 10kV
Class 2 - 20kV
Class 3 - 30kV
Class 4 - 40kV

Typical Use Cases

  • Live-line work on overhead lines or underground cables rated up to 40 kV (e.g. maintenance, switching, emergency repairs).
  • Electrical installation or repair tasks where conductors or equipment are energized, providing essential shock protection.
  • Substation or network maintenance work where insulating gloves are required by safety standards or as part of a safety protocol.
  • When combined with mechanical over-gloves, making them suitable for tasks involving hardware, tools, and rough surfaces (bolts, clamps, metal fittings).
