Can anyone help me, please.
I am after a set of High Voltage
(750-1000V) insulated,leather+ PVC
gloves, I have worn out the pair that I
have, and I cannot find a supplier for
some new gloves.

Trumpy, do you have access to a Grainger store? Otherwise Grainger.com. has them model #'s 4JD52, '53 and '54 depending on the size.

I found a few places that sell gloves:
http://www.safetygeardepot.com/handprotect.asp
http://www.safety-products.com/store/groups.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=84

McMastercarr.com.
They should be at your door the next day.
BTW,
We refer to those gloves (Class 00 for 500V. max use & Class 0 for 750V. max) as "low-voltage" gloves, although technically, the Class 0 are above the typical 600 volt "low voltage" designation.

On the same subject where can I find a suitable face shield for low voltage applications?
Thanks, Brian

Try an internet search on a company called Oberon. I will try to provide more info tomorrow.

Try "oberoncompany.com"

Thanks Guys,

Sorry guys, to bring up an old subject,
but I could not find a single link to
the Gloves that I was after.
Maybe Old Appy can help.
I desperately need a pair of these gloves,as
the pair that I have are now dangerous with respect to live work.

I got a pair of 1000 volt gloves from Mitchell Instrument Co. not that long ago.
I had called another company that gave me some ridiculous back-order time estimate but Mitchell delivered. They are on the web.

This is what your looking for. The best in the industry in my opinion.

Trumpy,

Have you tried McmasterCarr.com?

I work as a commercial meterman for an electric utility. We use Salisbury class 0 rubber gloves with leather protectors for all low voltage work (under 600v) and use class 2 rubber gloves with leather protectors and rubber sleeves for all primary work (performed from a bucket). The gloves provide necessary electrical protection, but need to be tested on a regular basis. We send our gloves out monthly for testing, to a testing lab. On an annual basis, approx 20 - 25% of our gloves, fail the testing either due to electrical failure or deterioration.
I strongly recommend anyone using rubber gloves for electrical safety, adopt a glove testing program.

AMEN Ameterguy. Glove testing programs are a must. Salsbury gloves are another good brand.
