Class 1 Insulating Gloves Set

Class 1 Insulating Gloves Set for Electrical Safety — Rated to 7,500V AC with Full Mechanical Protection

Workers operating near energized conductors up to 7,500V AC need protection that holds up under real field conditions. Our Class 1 Insulating Gloves Set is built for exactly that environment. Each set includes one pair of natural rubber or EPDM insulating gloves, one pair of ASTM F696-compliant leather protector gloves, one pair of cotton liner gloves, and one canvas storage bag — giving linemen, facility engineers, and EV maintenance professionals a complete, standards-compliant solution ready to deploy from day one.

Xi'An PPE MAX: This Product Manufacturer & Supplier

Xi'An PPE MAX Co., Ltd has manufactured electrical safety equipment since 1956. Our production follows ASTM D120 and ASTM F696 standards, and every set ships with all four components factory-inspected before dispatch.

We supply both Type I natural rubber and Type II EPDM options so buyers can match the glove to their specific operating environment — indoor switchgear work or outdoor distribution maintenance.

What Is This Product?

This product is a multi-component personal protective equipment solution designed to protect electrical workers from shock and electrocution hazards up to 7,500V AC and 11,250V DC.

Rubber insulating gloves provide excellent dielectric protection but are mechanically fragile — a single puncture or cut can compromise the insulating barrier. The set format addresses this directly by combining three functional layers:

• Cotton liner: takes in moisture. Hands stay dry, so the fit holds steadier
• Rubber insulating glove: gives you the dielectric barrier (ASTM D120)
• Leather protector glove: keeps the rubber safe from cuts. It also blocks scrapes and punctures (ASTM F696)

Stack these layers together and a worker gets dielectric protection and mechanical durability. One kit covers both.

Key Features

White label identification shows the Class 1 rating at a glance. That stops a worker from reaching for a lower-rated glove by mistake, say Class 0 (red) or Class 00 (beige), on a system running at higher voltage.

Type I vs. Type II rubber options let buyers pick the glove that suits the work environment. Type I natural rubber gives more flexibility and better tactile sensitivity for fine hand movements. Type II EPDM holds up against ozone cracking and UV degradation, so it is the right pick for outdoor utility work.

Rubber thickness of 1.02mm: 1.52mm gives you dielectric strength and still lets your hands move. ASTM D120 sets this range for the Class 1 Insulating Gloves Set for Class 1 performance requirements.

ASTM F696 leather protectors come in sizes and finishes that keep clear of the rubber cuff's flashover distance. A proper fit then adds no new hazards.

Canvas storage bag keeps the set away from UV exposure and physical damage between uses. It also helps you store the set correctly between inspection intervals.

Applications

Utility distribution maintenance: Linemen on secondary distribution lines use Class 1 sets. The same goes for transformers that run above 1,000V and below 7.5kV. Rough cables are handled by the leather layer. Wooden crossarms are no problem either. The rubber glove stays safe from harm.

Industrial high-voltage switchgear: Facility engineers rack breakers or service motor control centers. Shock protection is one need. Gear that can take hard use is the other. One standard kit covers both needs.

Heavy EV and battery manufacturing: EV battery architectures are moving to 800V+ systems. Class 0 gloves no longer give enough safety margin. Class 1 sets are used in heavy-duty EV maintenance. R&D work with high-voltage DC busbars and battery packs also calls for them.

Standards & Testing for Class 1 Insulating Gloves Set

We make our rubber insulating gloves to meet ASTM D120. The leather protectors follow ASTM F696. Before any batch leaves us, it gets an electrical proof test at 10,000V AC.

Packing

Every Class 1 Insulating Gloves Set comes with one canvas glove bag. The bag keeps UV light and physical contact away from the gloves while they sit in storage or travel. Warehouse staff can read the class, the voltage rating, and the manufacture date on the outer carton label.

After-Sales Support

FAQ

Q: For This product, how often do the rubber gloves need an electrical test?

A: Once a rubber glove goes into service, it has to be tested every 6 months. Gloves that sit unused on the shelf can stay there for up to 12 months before re-testing is needed. Leather protectors are not electrically tested. Still, check them by eye each day.

Q: Can the rubber glove be worn without the leather protector?

A: No. Take the leather protector away and the rubber glove is open to cuts and punctures. Any one of them can kill its dielectric rating right away. ASTM D120 gloves are built to be worn with protectors.

Q: How does Type I rubber differ from Type II?

A: Type I (Natural Rubber) bends more easily and gives you a better feel through the fingertips. That makes it a good fit for controlled indoor work. Type II (EPDM) stands up to ozone and UV damage. For outdoor jobs or places where conditions shift, it is the better pick.

Q: What does the white label indicate?

A: That white label means the glove is Class 1, rated for a maximum use voltage of 7,500V. The color code keeps workers from grabbing a lower-rated glove by mistake and using it on a higher-voltage system.

Q: How should a Class 1 set be stored?

A: Put the set in the canvas bag that comes with it. Keep it away from heat sources, UV light, and chemicals. Never fold the rubber gloves, and keep them clear of sharp objects. During long-term storage, take the rubber gloves out of the leather protectors so they do not deform.

Q: Does PPE MAX support custom sizing or private labeling?

A: Custom sizing across standard and extended cuff lengths is available, and private labeling is available for bulk orders. Contact our team with your specifications.
