GRANBERG 589 Electrical Insulation Gloves Instruction Manual

GRANBERG 589 Electrical Insulation Gloves

Natural rubber electrical insulation gloves exclusively for electrical purposes.

Instruction Before Use

Glov8S should be inspected (surfaces – inside and outside), daily or more often if used without leather protectors. Rings, wetch8S, jewellery or sharp objects on hands or arms should not be whom while wearing the gloves. If at any stage the gloves come into contact with petroleum based products or organic solvents (oils, fats, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, hand creams and pastes) they should be immediately washed and submitted for laboratory testing before reuse. ff protective gloves other than rubber gloves are used together with this product, they must be worn over the rubber gloves. Leather protectors and the rubber gloves must be inspected together at the same time. The guidelines for the protector’s inspection should be followed paying particular attention to: metal particles, any snagged wires or any other material that could abrade or compromise integrity of the gloves. Check for any physical damage: abrasion marks, cracks, holes, nicks, tear, puncture, depressions, soft. spots, stickin8Ss, discoloration or any other blemishes. The gloves should be inflated, by sealing the cuff and rolling the glove over the seal. Pressure need be applied to different areas of the glove. A visual inspection should be carried out again, paying attention also to any escaping air.
The gloves and sleeves should be tested electrically in accordance with local statutes or at a minimum of once every 8 and 12 months respectively. If there is any doubt whatsoever about the condition of the gloves, or they are being used under extreme conditions, then gloves should be submitted for laboratory testing before reuse. Destroy the glove if any visual or physical abnormalities are found. All inspections and tests should be conducted as per recommendations in; ASTM F 496 (Specification for In-Service Care of Insulating Gloves and Sleeves); ASTM F1238 (Guide for Visual Inspection of Electrical Protective Rubber Products).

Precautions during use

Gloves containing natural rubber latex might contain ingredients which are known to be a possible cause of allergies in sensitized persons. If any allergic reaction should occur then medical advice should be obtained immediately. Always use the rubber insulating gloves in the intended voltage class. The voltage class can be found on the label, on the box, bag and glove itself. Leather protectors should always be worn over rubber insulating gloves to protect the gloves from physical damage. If necessary to use the rubber insulating glove without a leather protector; extreme care should be taken against punctures, abrasions or other damage. If a leather protector is not used, it is essential to wear gloves at least one voltage class higher than normally necessary for all classes higher than 0. Ensure sufficient flash over cover between the end of the protector’s and rubber glove’s cuffs. It is recommended that the glove should extend past the end of the protector by a minimum of 1/2 inch for class 0.

Obsolescence

Service life depends on application and maintenance and cannot be specified.
It is the responsibility of the user to ascertain the suitability of the gloves for the user’s task or tasks.

Cleaning

Gloves must be washed with a mild soap, rinsed thoroughly with clean water, air dried away from direct-sunlight or sources of heat. If at any stage the gloves come into contact with petroleum based products or organic solvents (oils, fats, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, hand creams and pastes) they should be immediately washed and submitted for laboratory testing before reuse.

Storage

• Gloves must;
• never be folded, wrinkled or exposed to any stress that may cause them to lengthen or shrink (the strain on rubber at a folded point is equal to stretching the glove to twice its length).
• never be stored inside out. Storing gloves reversed strain the rubber severely and causes ozone cutting.
• be stored in their protective bag when not in use.
• be away from direct irradiation of any heat source.
• be kept away from chemicals, oils, solvents, hazardous vapors, smoke or electrical discharge.
• stored where ambient temperature is not above 40 °C.
• be stored away from: moisture, direct-sunlight, direct-light and source of ozone.

Recommend to use the original packaging for transportation.

The gloves can be issued to service before completing twelve months from the date of manufacture without testing and once issued for service, gloves will need to be retested every six months thereafter. If the gloves have not been used within one year from the date of manufacture, the user can still use it after conducting a dielectric test assuring that the gloves still provide adequate protection according to the standard /EC 60903:2014.

 Please note

The gloves shall not be worn when there is a risk of entanglement with moving parts of machines. Gloves meeting the requirement for resistance to puncture may not be suitable for protection against sharply pointed objects such as hypodermic needles. None of the raw materials used in glove, or process of manufacturing it, are known to be harmful to the user. These gloves are intended to protect hands in working environments in accordance with EN 60903:2003 and /EC 60903:2014. It is the responsibility of the user to evaluate and determine risks based on the intended application.

The gloves should only be used for applications declared suitable by the manufacturer. Risk should be evaluated keeping in mind the protection levels and the harmonized standards on which gloves are tested. The results of the tests should help in glove selection, however it must be understood that actual conditions of use cannot be simulated and it is the responsibility of the user, not the manufacturer, to determine glove suitability to the intended use. Further information may be obtained from manufacturer.

Designation of maximum use of voltage

GS-ET-42-1 :2019-02 electrically lnsulatlng gloves with addition al protection against the thermal effect of electrical fault arc

Glove achieved APC 2 when tested in accordance with DGUV-Test GS-ET-42-1 :2019-02

The maximum use voltage is the A.G. voltage rating of the protective equipment that designates the maximum nominal voltage of the energized system that may be safely worked. The nominal voltage is equal to the phase-to-phase voltage on multiphase circuits.

If there is multiple exposure in system area, and the system voltage exposure is limited to the phase (polarity on the DC system) to ground potential, the phase (polarity on the DC system) to ground potential, shall be considered to be the nominal voltage.

If electrical equipment and devices are insulated, or isolated, or both, such that the multiple exposure on an earthed, neutral star circuit (grounded wye circuit) is removed and if supplemental insulation (eg. Insulated aerial device or structure-mounted insulating work platfom,) is used to insulate the worker from ground, then the nominal design voltage may be considered as the phase-to-ground voltage on that circuit.
