Class 00 Electrical Insulating Rubber Gloves

Class 00 Electrical Insulating Rubber Gloves – Low-Voltage Dielectric Protection for Professional Use

Gloves have been coming out of Xi'An PPE MAX Co., Ltd since 1956. One item in that range is the Class 00 Electrical Insulating Rubber Gloves. A pair handles a working voltage of 500V AC at most. Proof testing is carried out at 2,500V AC. Both IEC 60903 and ASTM D120 are met by the gloves. Sizes 8 through 11 are available. Length comes in 11 inch or 14 inch. Weight works out to roughly 170g per pair. You can order them in red. Black is the other option. Solid dielectric protection is what technicians get, and hand movement stays free. Every carton holds 20 pairs. Gross weight of that carton is 6.5 kg.

What Are This Product?

This product are the entry point in electrical PPE. Low-voltage work is what they cover, up to 500V AC and 750V DC. Do not treat them as general-purpose work gloves. Dielectric insulation is the job they do. Electric shock is what that insulation stops, and so is contact with live components.

Rubber thickness never goes past 0.75mm (30 mils). Inside the ASTM D120 and IEC 60903 hierarchy, that figure is what makes the difference. Small wires, terminal screws, and meter parts are easier to handle at this thickness. No thicker voltage class gets close to that precision. Under both standards, Class 00 gloves carry a beige label. At a glance, any crew on site can then tell the voltage class.

Standard Specifications

Features

Rubber made to dielectric grade. The first is Type I (Natural Rubber). It gives strong stretch and good touch feel. Type II (EPDM) is the other choice. It stands up better to ozone and UV. For outdoor utility work, that counts.

0.75mm thick, with high dexterity. That puts it in the thinnest class under ASTM D120. Small nuts and washers are easy to pick up. So are connectors and touchscreen interfaces. Feel stays sharp, and hands do not tire.

RESIST category choices. The compound you select sets the category code. Code A means acid. H covers oil. Z is for ozone. R handles acid plus oil plus ozone. C is for very low temperature. That way one glove can fit a specific work setting.

Length options for wrist and forearm coverage. You can get two lengths. Wrist coverage comes from the 11-inch pair. Go with the 14-inch size and the glove goes up the forearm. Bare skin stays covered when you reach into panels or enclosures.

Color-coded beige label. Voltage class sits on a beige label. One look and you have it. Both IEC 60903 and ASTM D120 are followed here. Nobody has to guess on the job site.

Applications

Making Class 00 Electrical Insulating Rubber Gloves and Servicing Electric Vehicles (EVs)

EV battery packs usually run at high DC voltages. Disconnecting high-voltage systems is one job these gloves cover. So is inverter servicing and high-voltage cabling in tight engine bays. For work like that, the 500V AC / 750V DC rating is the right one.

Smart Meter and Residential Utility Work

Utility techs grab them when they swap meters on 240V and 480V services. Thin profile helps here. Small meter locking rings and live terminal connections are easier to handle with them on. You get better dexterity too.

Industrial Control Panels and Automation

Maintenance engineers count on them to troubleshoot live PLC cabinets and switchgear inside the 500V AC rated range. The gloves are 0.75mm thick. That lets you turn a small screwdriver in a tight enclosure without taking them off.

Compliance and Standards for Class 00 Electrical Insulating Rubber Gloves

IEC 60903 and ASTM D120 are the standards this glove is built to. No pair gets cleared for field use until it passes proof testing at 2,500V AC. That test sits at five times the 500V AC maximum use voltage.

Work in a regulated industry and you're buying these? Two checks come first. Every pair has to carry the right label. Re-testing intervals must also line up with the Class 00 Electrical Insulating Rubber Gloves standard your region uses.

FAQ

Q: What's the top voltage rating on this product?

A: Working voltage stops at 500V AC and 750V DC. Proof test voltage goes as high as 2,500V AC and 10,000V DC.

Q: Which sizes and lengths can I get?

A: All four sizes are offered: 8, 9, 10, and 11. Length comes in 11 inches or 14 inches, your pick.

Q: How do Type I and Type II rubber differ?

A: You get more stretch and a better feel for touch from Type I (Natural Rubber). Ozone and UV attack Type II (EPDM) far less, so it suits outdoor settings better.

Q: What standards do these gloves meet?

A: Both are built to meet IEC 60903 and ASTM D120.

Q: Can this product be used for EV service work?

A: Yes. That holds for EV service tasks that stay inside the 500V AC / 750V DC rated range. Handling high-voltage cabling counts as one of them. Disconnecting certain high-voltage systems does too. Check the task voltage before you start, every time. Going above the rated maximum use voltage is not allowed.

Q: On a job site, how do you tell which voltage class a glove is?

A: Class 00 gloves have a beige label. That label follows ASTM D120 and IEC 60903. It shows the voltage rating right away. You do not have to read small print.
