safety gloves at the domestic level
For domestic electrical work, Class 0 or Class 00 is generally sufficient. Here's why: Class 00: These gloves provide protection up to 500 volts AC (alternating current). They are suitable for small, low-voltage domestic electrical work, such as checking or repairing sockets, switches, or light fixtures. Class 0: These gloves protect up to 1,000 volts AC, which is a higher level of safety for household work. They are recommended if you are working with the distribution panel (electrical panel) or other more sensitive installations in the house. Home electrical systems typically operate at 120 volts or 240 volts AC in the United States and many countries, which is well below the protection limit of Class 0 or 00 gloves. These classes therefore provide a margin of safety suitable for domestic work. Note: Even with the correct gloves, it is important to follow all safety precautions and ensure that the electricity is turned off before working on installations.
