The use range and precautions of insulating boots

Insulation boots , as the name suggests, can play an insulating role and are used in electrical work as an auxiliary safety tool. Some managers mistakenly believe that 6KV insulating leather shoes or 5KV cloth insulating shoes are used in 6KV or 5KV environments, which is wrong. In electrical safety management, insulating tools can be divided into two categories: safety appliances and auxiliary safety appliances. Among them, basic safety appliances refer to safety appliances with sufficient insulation strength to withstand electrical voltage, such as insulating rods, insulating clamps, and insulating platforms (ladders). Auxiliary safety equipment means that it is not enough to withstand the electrical operating voltage. In electrical work, with basic safety equipment (such as insulating pads, insulating shoes), it is not allowed to touch live parts. But it can prevent the personal injury caused by the step voltage.

The following Chengge editor will explain to you how to maintain the insulating boots .

First, in the high-voltage system, the insulating shoe is only an auxiliary tool, and cannot directly contact the high-voltage live body;

Second, the high and low voltage insulating boots must be selected according to the voltage of the workplace;

Third, insulating shoes (boots) must not be damaged. And when wearing insulating boots, the trousers must be placed inside the boots;

Fourth, insulating boots cannot be used as rain boots;

Fifth, the rubber sole that is not resistant to acid and alkali oil should not be in contact with acid and alkali oil substances, and should be prevented from being stabbed by sharp objects. Low -voltage insulating shoes cannot be used as insulating shoes if the bottom pattern is polished and the inner color is exposed;

Sixth, when purchasing insulating shoes (boots), you should check whether there are corresponding symbols or certificates on the shoes;

Seventh, the service life of insulating shoes, the manufacturer stipulates that the outsole is polished, that is, when the outsole exposes the yellow surface glue (that is, the insulating layer), the insulating shoes are not suitable for use in electrical work;
