Scope of application and precautions for insulated shoes and insulated boots

The biggest difference between insulated shoes and insulated boots is that one is low top and the other is high top. However, their application industries are basically the same, and they are all used in power mining, fire protection, factories, construction, forestry and other industries.

First, let’s take a look at the scope of application of insulating shoes and insulating boots with Shanghai C&G editor. The new standard stipulates that electrical insulating shoes are used as safety aids for electrical work. Many people mistakenly believe that 6KV insulating leather shoes or 5KV cloth insulating shoes , the application range is 6KV or 5KV environment, which is very wrong, because the auxiliary safety equipment is not enough to withstand the electrical operating voltage, in the electrical work, with the basic safety equipment (such as insulating mats, insulating shoes) can not touch live part. But it can prevent personal injury from step voltage. Insulated leather shoes and cloth insulated shoes are mainly used as auxiliary safety equipment when the power frequency is below 1000V.

Precautions during the use of insulating shoes and boots

1. Insulated shoes can be used as auxiliary safety equipment and labor protection equipment on equipment with AC 50Hz, below 1000V or DC below 1500V. Staff use insulated leather shoes, which can be used with basic appliances to touch live parts, and can be used to protect against clicks caused by step voltage. Step voltage refers to: when electrical equipment is grounded, the maximum potential gradient direction of the ground is 0.8M between two points Potential difference.

2. The product should not be exposed to moisture, once it is exposed to moisture, do not use it. The damp insulated shoes should be placed in a ventilated and cool place to dry naturally to avoid deformation and damage to the leather shoes. If the insulating shoes are damaged, whether it is the upper or the sole, they can no longer be used.

3. The shoe upper must be mainly protected and maintained. You can first squeeze the shoe polish onto the cloth and apply it evenly on the shoe surface, and then wipe it after a while (the shoe polish is slightly dry).

4. Insulated shoes should not be used in rainy days, let alone washed.

5. In order to prevent deformation, corrosion, etc., do not contact with oil, acid, alkali and sharp substances.

6. When wearing colored insulated shoes (including white), special care should be taken not to touch sewage, dirt, tea stains, cola, etc., otherwise stains will be left and the original color of the shoes will be damaged.
