Electrical PPE
Electrical PPE protects the technician from shock and arc flash during work on live systems. The category spans insulating gloves classified ASTM D120 (Class 00 to Class 4), dielectric boots, electrical insulating helmets, arc flash PPE kits, and arc-flash face shields. Selection follows system voltage and arc-flash incident energy.

About this category
Electrical PPE covers two layers: shock protection against current contact and arc-flash protection against uncontrolled energy release. Insulating gloves are classified under ASTM D120 from Class 00 (500 V) to Class 4 (36 000 V), with a periodic electrical (dielectric) retest per the standard and product guide (typically every 6 months). A leather protector glove is worn over to shield the insulating glove itself. Dielectric boots provide supplementary insulation against step and touch potential, unlike EH footwear, which protects in dry conditions only; neither replaces insulating gloves. Insulating mats are listed under Insulating Mats. Electrical insulating helmets (Class E for 20 000 V) protect the head from accidental contact with a live conductor or energized metal. Arc-flash clothing is rated in cal/cm² from Cat 1 (4 cal/cm²) to Cat 4 (40 cal/cm²), chosen against the facility's arc-flash study of incident energy at each work point. Arc-flash face shields provide visibility with protection against high arc energy and are worn with a helmet. Pre-use inspection and approved class labels are mandatory. Specifications follow ASTM D120, EN 60903, NFPA 70E, and IEC 61482.
