The Jayco Electro Saviour Class 2 Electrical Insulated Seamless Gloves (Art No. JS 1072 / KT Ref: KTI150160042017) are engineered to deliver primary dielectric barrier protection for utility technicians, maintenance engineers, and high-voltage electrical contractors. Rated for a maximum continuous working voltage of 17,000 V AC (17 kV RMS) and proof-tested at 20,000 V AC (20 kV RMS), these gloves serve as vital personal protective equipment (PPE) across hazardous industrial and utility environments compliant with IS 13774:2014 and IS 13774:2021 standards.
High-Voltage Substation and Transformer Servicing
Electrical substations and transformer yards present high-energy arc flash and electrocution hazards during scheduled inspections, tap changer maintenance, and bushing terminations. The natural latex rubber dipped construction provides robust dielectric resistance, allowing authorized technicians to work on or near energized conductors up to 17 kV AC. The Category RC classification (resistant to acid, oil, ozone, and low temperatures) makes these gloves resilient in transformer environments where insulating oil exposure and outdoor ozone concentrations can degrade standard elastomers.
Live-Line Power Distribution and Utility Network Maintenance
Power distribution crews executing live-line maintenance, overhead wire stringing, jumper installation, and cut-out switch servicing rely on Class 2 electrical insulation to prevent phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase contact hazards. Available in arm-covering lengths of 360 mm, 410 mm, and 460 mm, these seamless gloves provide extensive wrist and forearm shielding inside utility bucket trucks and tight distribution pole configurations.
Industrial Switchgear and Motor Control Center (MCC) Operations
In heavy industrial plants, manufacturing facilities, and process plants, personnel frequently interact with high-voltage switchgear cabinets, busbar sections, and Motor Control Centers (MCC). Use cases include:
- Operating high-voltage disconnect switches and circuit breaker racking mechanisms.
- Executing thermal imaging surveys and voltage verification on energized 11 kV to 17 kV distribution boards.
- Replacing medium-voltage fuses and inspecting bus duct connections under controlled live conditions.
- Routine maintenance on large industrial drives, induction furnaces, and high-capacity pump control panels.
Live-Circuit Commissioning and Infrastructure Electrification
During greenfield electrification, metro rail traction power commissioning, and renewable energy substation tie-ins, engineers must measure voltages, balance phases, and verify isolation interlocks. The unlined, seamless ergonomic profile across palm sizes 7" through 11" preserves tactile sensitivity, allowing operators to manipulate handheld multimeters, high-voltage probes, and small terminal fasteners securely without hand fatigue.
PPE Layering and System Integration
For complete mechanical and operational safety during rugged field tasks, Jayco Class 2 gloves are designed to integrate into a standard two-to-three layer PPE system:
| Layer Level | Glove Type | Operational Role |
|---|---|---|
| Inner Layer | Cotton Under-Gloves | Sweat absorption, skin hygiene, and enhanced thermal comfort during prolonged shifts. |
| Dielectric Core | Jayco Electro Saviour Class 2 | Primary 17 kV AC shock and flashover dielectric protection. |
| Outer Layer | Leather Protector Gloves | Defends the natural latex core against external cuts, abrasions, friction, and puncture damage. |
