Class 2 Type 1 Glove Kits

Premium Class 2 Voltage-Rated Glove Protection

ENESPRO® Class 2 Type 1, 14" Long Voltage-Rated Insulating Rubber Gloves and Leather Protector Kits


 

ENESPRO® Class 2 Type 1 voltage-rated gloves are high quality, specialised insulating rubber gloves designed for electrical workers, providing a maximum use voltage up to 17,000 Volts AC (Alternating Current) and 25,500 Volts DC (Direct Current), with Type 1 indicating that they are manufactured from natural rubber, which provides high dielectric strength. 

ENESPRO® Class 2 insulating rubber gloves are high-voltage insulating protective gear designed for maximum safety when working on or near live energised equipment. They provide protection against electrical shock and when used as part of a kit, offer protection against arc flash hazards. The gloves are primarily used by utility workers, linemen, electricians and contractors working on medium-to-high voltage systems.  

▲ Class 2 w/ Colour-Coded Label

Key Features / Specifications

  • Proof Test Voltage - Tested at 20,000 Volts AC.
  • Type 1 Definition - Manufactured from natural material.
  • Colour Code - Identified by a Yellow Label, which is a standardised, permanent colour-coded marker indicating that the gloves are rated for maximum use voltage of 17,000V AC and 25,500V DC. The colour-coding system, defined by ASTM D120 and EN60903 standards, allows for quick, easy visual identification of the glove voltage class to ensure proper safety use.
  • Usage - Commonly used for medium-to-high voltage transmission and heavy-duty industrial tasks.
  • Mandatory Protection - Must be used with leather protectors to prevent physical damage (cuts, abrasions, punctures).
  • Inspection - Require daily inspection and air-testing for leaks before each use. 

ENESPRO® Leather Protectors

ENESPRO® leather rubber glove protectors are heavy-duty leather gloves worn over insulating rubber gloves to shield them from mechanical damage like cuts, punctures and abrasions, not for electrical insulation themselves, ensuring the more expensive insulating rubber gloves last longer and maintain their critical electrical barrier against electric shock. Leather protectors provide a tough outer layer for physical tasks while working with live electrical systems, allowing dexterity and durability in high-risk electrical maintenance and power line work.

  • Sharp objects such as jewellery can puncture or damage rubber gloves and therefore should not be worn while wearing rubber voltage-rated gloves.
  • Immediately clean gloves that have come into contact with chemicals, especially petroleum based products.
  • Wash with mild soap. Air dry, keeping gloves away from direct sources.
  • Store gloves flat in a protective bag. Do not fold gloves.
  • If contaminants cannot be removes after laundering, it is best to discontinue use of the gloves.
  • Inspections should occur before each use. Inspection methods are outlined in ASTM F 1236. 
  • Read the garment label and launder per the instructions on the garment label.
  • Machine wash on warm with maximum settings to 140° F / 60° C. Use a mild detergent. Tumble dry on medium setting.
  • DO NOT: iron, use chlorine bleach, use hydrogen peroxide, fabric softener or starch.
  • Wash according to the instructions above to remove any contaminants in order to maintain fabric performance when the garment becomes soiled with dirt, grease, oils etc.
  • If contaminants cannot be removed after laundering, it is best to discontinue use of the garment.
