What Protective Equipment is Needed for The Electrical Workers

Electrical workers, also called electrical assemblers. Generally refers to the staff who are engaged in the following work.

1. The electric control cabinet is made according to the electrical schematic diagram.

2. Installation of electrical instruments according to the control principle diagram.

3, assist electrical engineer to carry out equipment debugging.

4. It can detect and maintain simple electrical faults.

So, in order to ensure the safety of work, what protective equipment do electrical workers need based on these work items?

First, it is also the most important point, that is, the flame retardant clothing, anti arc clothing, of course, this kind of clothing also have different categories, can refer to the Yu Long Textile "on the American Standard for flame retardant clothing" and "what is the arc, the role of anti arc clothing" two. Such clothing can greatly reduce or prevent the harm of flame or heat body and arc to human body.

PS if electrical workers are working outdoors, it is best to have flame retardant arc protective clothing with reflective protection function.

In fact, every part of the electrical worker's body needs personal protective equipment. For example, all aspects of electrical work should be worn with protective glasses. These protective goggles should be insulated if they are restricted to work near any exposed conductor or part of the circuit. For the protection of ears, it is also indispensable. It requires various types of personal protective equipment and is inserted into the ear canal. Sleeve protection device is not up to standard because it will fall off due to arc impact.

Of course, protective equipment, which is as important as protective clothing, should be considered a safety helmet. Wherever there is an electric shock, an electric burn, or a flying object from an electric explosion, there will be a danger of head injury, so the insulated head protection device is necessary. In general, most helmets have a rated voltage of 2200 volts G, but some rated voltage is 20180 volts E grade. The safety helmet of any ventilation and penetration type generally has no rated voltage and should not be used by the electrical worker.

Here, Yulong Textile wants to emphasize that the protective equipment for electrical workers should be comprehensive and omnidirectional. Together with head protection, the protection of the face, chin and neck is also needed. This protection needs to appear in the manner of rated arc mask. This mask is an arc shaped type, and also provides protection for the head, chin, ears and neck. The face screen of the welder looks like the face mask. Unlike that, the arc panel provides not only the protection on the heat, but also the protection of the thermal energy produced in the form of an arc flash shock, so the arc rate rating is not a flash rating carried by the solder's personal protective equipment. It is applicable to all electrical safety personal protective equipment. It is important to note that these panels and headgear provide thermal protection without impact protection. Safety glasses are required to be worn under the headgear or mask.

The protection of the hand can be classified into heavy leather gloves and arc gloves according to different types of arc flash and explosion. In addition, if workers wear leather gloves with rated voltage, no additional leather gloves or arc gloves will be needed. Rated voltage gloves have different voltage levels, the most common is "00" gloves, the gloves are AC rated voltage 500V DC rated voltage 750V. This may require an extra voltage level greater than the demand as an additional protection, but this may be a mistake, because as the grade increases gloves will lose flexibility, electrical engineering will be likely to change around this situation.

The production of plastic gloves is determined by measuring the maximum width of the palm and calculating a full size or exceeding the size to determine the size of the glove. Anyway, this method of measurement is like buying shoes - you need to try it on and find the best fit. Besides the rated voltage gloves, leather protection devices are also necessary. To protect gloves from physical or ultraviolet damage, a glove bag is required. The use of hand sanitizer when wearing gloves at rated voltage will damage rubber or baby powder containing aluminum powder.

Finally, the protection of shoes and boots is also important. From the electronic point of view, the only requirement is that they must be leather, and not exposed steel toe is a good choice. But one of the points of attention in 70E of the National Fire Protection Association of the United States reminds us that shoes with electrical or electrical hazard assessment can only provide two levels of protection in a dry environment, which remains to be improved.

Here, the entire set of safety protection equipment needed by the electrical workers has been basically introduced, and the operators in the electrical industry are willing to take the initiative to buy a full set of protective equipment. At the same time, the Yulong textile small editor is calling for the enterprises engaged in the electrical industry to make the initiative to support your employees with the protection equipment mentioned in order to protect the employees. Safe, financial more robust!
