Wear these protectors over electrical-protection gloves to meet ASTM standards when working with live electrical equipment. They also protect your gloves from scrapes and tears. All have an arc rating, which measures a protector’s ability to insulate the wearer from burns. The higher the rating, the greater the flame resistance. They meet NFPA 70E for arc-flash protection as well as ANSI/ISEA 105 for resistance to cuts or punctures. Higher cut or puncture ratings mean more protection.

Choose protectors that are the same size as the gloves they will be worn over. To comply with ASTM standards, the cuff of the glove should extend past the end of the protector. For Class 00 and Class 0 ratings, the gloves must be at least 1/2" longer than the protector. For all other classes, the number of inches that the glove extends past the protector should match the class number. For example, Class 1 gloves should be 1" longer than their protector.
