A High voltage test Facility
If your employees work
near high voltage electrical equipment, the integrity of your safety equipment
is critical to their safety. Our dedication to customer service and product
testing has kept our internal and external clients secure and returning.
Our high voltage testing
services are used by a wide range of organizations, from small electrical
contractors to large electricity suppliers and mining industries. In addition
to testing high voltage equipment, we examine, clean, repair, and stock some replacement
components, saving you time and money.
When high voltages are applied to the inner and outer surfaces of a glove, leakage currents are measured across the whole thickness of the glove. Among the rules that govern the manufacture, testing, and retesting of high-voltage gloves are ASTM D120, NFPA 70E, and OSHA CFR 1910.13712. Depending on the type of job and industry, high-voltage gloves may need to be checked before the first issue and every 6 months thereafter, or more frequently, such as once per month. Employees who work on high-voltage surfaces may be subjected to higher voltage and more frequent testing.

Safety and maintenance
tips for rubber insulated gloves
To ensure the safety of
your lineman and employees working with high voltage, the insulating protection
of gloves must be properly maintained.
Properly store and
manually inspect gloves prior to each use.
Inspect for cuts,
abrasions, cracks, scratches, punctures, ozone cracking, pitting, etc.
High voltage gloves should
be tested every 6 months. Electrical testing for compliance is governed by ASTM
F496 and ASTM F1236
Insulated rubber or
plastic cover-up testing
Our facility runs high
voltage tests on a wide variety of rubber or plastic insulated cover-up
equipment such as high voltage insulating blankets, line hose, line covers and
plastic guards designed to protect from accidental contact with high voltage
lines, poles, and more. Inspection and testing is extremely important to ensure
the electrical safety of the equipment.
What we offer for your
high voltage cover-up equipment
Clean and inspect cover-up
equipment
Perform dielectric test on
insulating blankets and equipment
Safety and maintenance
tips
For insulated rubber line
hoses, covers and plastic guards, testing is determined by the user; equipment
should not be used if safety of protective equipment is questioned.
Your high voltage line
hose, cover and plastic guards should be inspected before each use. If you have
any concerns with the insulation and electrical integrity is suspect, testing
should be performed.
Insulated blankets should
be tested before their first use and then every 12 months.
Electrical testing for
compliance is governed by ASTM F478, ASTM F479, CSA Z462 (5.11.2 and 5.11.3),
and ASTM F712 (plastic).
