Which class of gloves is used for voltages up to 1,000 volts?

• A. Class 0 gloves
• B. Class 1 gloves
• C. Class 2 gloves
• D. Class 3 gloves

Answer: (A)

Voltage-rated insulating gloves are categorized by class, indicating the maximum voltage they can safely insulate. For work on circuits up to 1,000 volts, you use Class 0 gloves. The class system is arranged so higher numbers cover higher voltage ranges, so for voltages greater than 1,000 V you’d choose higher classes. Always inspect gloves for damage and use leather protectors over the rubber gloves for mechanical protection, and ensure they are tested and tagged according to the standard.
