Difference between insulated shoes 6kv and 10kv

The main differences between insulated shoes 6kV and 10kV are reflected in their insulation class, design materials, applicable environment and possible additional safety features. The following is a detailed comparison of these two types of insulating shoes:

First. Insulation performance level

6kV insulating shoes: these shoes are designed to block voltages up to 6kV. They are very common in daily use and are mainly used for maintenance and repair of some low voltage equipment.

10kV insulating shoes: these shoes are able to withstand voltages of up to 10kV, and therefore provide stronger electrical protection. They are suitable for high-voltage power equipment, substations and other high-voltage working environments.

Second, design materials

6kV insulating shoes: they are usually made of highly elastic and wear-resistant rubber materials to ensure the longevity of the boots. Some brands, such as Feihe brand, will also adopt special designs, such as non-slip deepening sole pattern, electric insulation treatment and protective covering, to provide better stability and insulation protection.

10kV insulated footwear: as they are required to withstand higher voltages, they are usually made from higher grade and voltage resistant insulating materials. The soles may use wear-resistant, cold-resistant, non-slip insulating rubber outsoles, while the uppers may use oil-resistant, chemical-resistant PU midsoles and high-quality cowhide leather uppers, etc., to ensure that the wearer's safety can be effectively protected in high-voltage environments.

Third, Applicable environment

6kV insulating shoes: mainly applicable to the maintenance and operation of low and medium voltage power facilities, such as the maintenance of electrical equipment and lines.

10kV insulating shoes: mainly used in high-voltage power systems, especially in substations, high-voltage cable lines and transmission lines and other high-voltage electrical environments.

Forth, Additional safety features

6kV insulating shoes: In addition to the basic insulating properties, some brands will also focus on comfort design, such as soft lining, breathability, etc., in order to wear for a long time.

10kV insulated shoes: In addition to superior electrical insulation, they may also have a smash-proof function to protect toes from accidental injury. In addition, the sole design is also usually hard-wearing and non-slip to suit a variety of complex terrains.

There are significant differences between 6kV and 10kV insulating footwear in terms of insulation performance levels, design materials, applicable environments and additional safety features. When selecting, the right insulating shoes should be chosen according to the specific working environment and voltage level to ensure the safety of the wearer.
