Electrical Protection
PIP electrical protection helps safeguard qualified workers from electric shock, arc flash, thermal energy, and related hazards encountered around energized electrical equipment. PIP offers electrical safety PPE for utilities, power generation, industrial maintenance, manufacturing, electrical contracting, substations, and other applications involving energized conductors and equipment.
RSP Supply carries PIP and NOVAX rubber insulating gloves, leather glove protectors, rubber insulating sleeves, arc-rated and flame-resistant clothing, arc-flash suits, jackets, overpants, coveralls, balaclavas, hoods, face shields, complete arc-flash kits, glove bags, inflators, powder, and testing accessories. PIP’s insulating-glove assortment includes multiple electrical classes, lengths, cuff configurations, and sizes, while its arc-flash kits are available in different cal/cm² ratings and component combinations.
Selecting the correct electrical PPE begins with a documented hazard assessment. Buyers should compare system voltage, glove electrical class, arc rating, garment coverage, equipment condition, testing requirements, fit, and compatibility between insulating gloves, leather protectors, sleeves, head protection, face protection, and clothing. Leather protectors provide mechanical protection for compatible rubber insulating gloves but do not provide electrical insulation by themselves.
FAQs
What electrical protection products does PIP offer?
PIP offers rubber insulating gloves and sleeves, leather glove protectors, arc-rated and flame-resistant clothing, arc-flash suits and kits, balaclavas, hoods, face shields, insulating blankets, glove storage bags, inflators, powder, and related electrical safety accessories.
How do I choose the correct PIP rubber insulating gloves?
Choose insulating gloves according to the maximum voltage exposure, required electrical class, glove length, cuff style, size, and applicable workplace procedures. PIP NOVAX gloves are offered in multiple classes and configurations, including Classes 00 through 4. Gloves must be inspected, tested, stored, and used according to the applicable standards and employer electrical-safety program.
Why are leather protectors worn over insulating gloves?
Leather protectors help protect rubber insulating gloves from cuts, punctures, abrasion, and other mechanical damage. The protector must be correctly matched to the insulating glove’s class, length, and size. Leather protectors alone are not electrically insulating gloves.
How do I select a PIP arc-flash kit?
Select an arc-flash kit using the incident-energy analysis, required arc rating in cal/cm², garment coverage, task, working conditions, and employer electrical-safety program. PIP offers kits with different ratings and combinations of jackets, overpants, coveralls, hoods, hard hats, safety glasses, arc shields, balaclavas, and storage bags.
