Insulated boots are also called high-voltage insulated boots, mining boots. The so-called insulation means that the charged body is sealed with an insulating material, thereby isolating the charged body or the conductor of different potentials, so that the current can flow in a certain path. Good insulation is a necessary condition to ensure the normal operation of equipment and lines, and is also an important measure to prevent electric shock accidents. Insulation often plays other roles: heat dissipation, mechanical support and fixation, energy storage, arc extinguishing, moisture protection, mildew resistance, and protection of conductors.
Electrically insulated shoes as a safety aid for electrical work, as a labor safety manager, should clearly understand this. Often, some managers with insufficient electrical knowledge mistakenly believe that 6KV insulation shoes or 5KV cloth insulation shoes, the application range is 6KV or 5KV environment, which is very wrong. In electrical safety management, insulation tools are divided into basic safety tools and auxiliary safety equipment. The so-called basic safety equipment refers to safety equipment with sufficient insulation strength to withstand the electrical application voltage, such as insulating rods, insulating clamps, and insulation tables (ladders). The auxiliary safety tools are not enough to withstand the electrical operating voltage. In electrical work, the basic safety equipment (such as insulating mats, insulated shoes) can not touch the live parts. But it can prevent the impact of step voltage on the human body. Insulating shoes and cloth insulation shoes are mainly used as auxiliary safety tools under the power frequency of 1000V. Voltage levels can generally be divided into: 6kv insulated boots, 20kv insulated boots, 25kv insulated boots and 35kv insulated boots. Use in environments that adapt to different voltage levels
