 Electrical insulation shoes are one of the series of safety shoes. They are generally divided into low voltage insulation, 6KV insulation or high voltage insulation above 10KV. As a safe and secure armor worn by electricians during distribution work, proper use is an important prerequisite for safety.

 

(1) If there is a risk of electric shock, wear insulated shoes, wear suitable electrical insulation shoes suitable for working environment, and use as auxiliary safety equipment and labor protection shoes during work.

 

(2) Note that electrical insulation shoes are not guaranteed to be 100% protective against electric shock, and additional tests to avoid this hazard are necessary. Such tests, like the additional tests mentioned below, should be part of the routine risk assessment process.

 

(3) During the service period, the insulation performance of insulated shoes should meet the requirements at any time.

 

(4) Insulating shoes may be damaged by nicking, cutting, abrasion or chemical contamination during use, and should be inspected regularly. Damaged shoes can no longer be used in insulated shoes.

 

(5) It is forbidden to wear in places where the sole material is contaminated, such as chemicals, etc. When entering such dangerous areas, it will affect the electrical properties of the shoes.

 

(6) It is recommended that the user establish a suitable insulation inspection and testing method for the footwear when wearing.

 

(7) When working with this product, the working environment should keep the upper dry.

 

(8) The voltage and leakage current values of the electrically insulated shoes that have been tested probatively shall comply with the standard requirements, and the validity period of each preventive test shall not exceed 6 months.

 

(9) It should be strictly prohibited to contact with sharp objects, high temperature, acid, alkali or other corrosive materials. During storage, it should be stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse to prevent mildew and pile up more than 0.2M from the ground and walls.

 

(10) The storage period is 24 months. For products over 24 months, the products should be inspected by preventive electrical performance. Only qualified shoes can be used for insulated shoes.
