What is the minimum working voltage for Class 0 gloves?

• A. 750 V
• B. 1,000 V
• C. 500 V
• D. 2,000 V

Answer: (B)

Class 0 gloves are designed for low-voltage work and provide insulation up to a specific maximum voltage. That maximum is 1,000 volts, so they can be safely used on equipment energized at or below 1,000 V as long as proper procedures are followed (inspection, testing, and using the leather protector). If the voltage is higher than 1,000 V, a higher class of gloves is required. The other voltages listed are either below the glove’s limit (and still okay, but not the maximum capability) or exceed it, making them unsuitable for Class 0.
