ELSEC 20 kV - Class 2

Insulating gloves ELSEC are applicable for electrical, purposes exclusively as the basic personal protective tool for live working at voltages up to 1 kV or as an additional protective measure for live working at voltages exceeding 1 kV. 

ELSEC gloves of insulating material have an ergonomic shape and are made from high-quality natural latex using a fully automated production line.

Each glove is individually numbered and electrically tested using a computer-controlled testing arrangement. A report of this test is attached to each glove package. The ergonomic shape and elasticity of the glove make comfortable and easy manual work even when anti-perspiration inner cotton glove and/or protector leather gloves are worn over. Five classes of ELSEC gloves are produced fulfilling different voltage test requirements.

There are:

• 00 (2,5 kV);
• 0 (5 kV);
• 1 (10 kV);
• 2 (20 kV);
• 3 (30 kV).

ELSEC gloves are category RC gloves according to EN 60903:2003 + AC2:2005 standard and have special properties increasing their resistance to:

R – acid, oil, and ozone;

C – resistant to extremely low temperature.

Category R combines the characteristics of categories:

A – resistant to acid;

H – resistant to oil;

Z – resistant to ozone;

Five sizes of ELSEC gloves are produced: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

The ELSEC gloves have been tested against the thermal influence of electric arc according to the nrequirements described in the standards:

1/ PN-EN 61482-1-1: 2009

2/ ASTM F2675/F2575M – 13
