Is it necessary to regularly check and test the insulation performance of Wire Gloves?

The insulation performance of Wire Gloves needs to be regularly inspected by users. This is to better protect workers from harm when performing electrical work, as insulation materials can deteriorate over time. Daily wear and tear, chemical erosion, temperature changes and mechanical damage can all affect the performance of insulation materials.
The first step in inspecting gloves is to carefully inspect the appearance of the gloves for any damage, especially in the fingers and palm areas. This visual inspection requires close observation to ensure that no problems are missed.
Elasticity testing is also essential. Over time, insulation materials can lose their elasticity, causing the gloves to not fit snugly on the hands. Therefore, we need to test the elasticity of the gloves to ensure that they can still fit the hands effectively. This can be done by stretching the gloves and observing how they rebound.
Leakage current testing is a key step in evaluating the insulation performance of gloves. It uses dedicated test equipment to simulate the conditions that may be encountered during electrical work. By applying a certain voltage and monitoring the current flow, it can be evaluated whether the insulation performance of the gloves meets the requirements.
By regularly inspecting and testing the insulation performance of Wire Gloves, we can ensure that these gloves can always provide reliable protection and protect workers from electric shock injuries.
