Here is a rundown of proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)--note that
gloves should be Class 0.

clothing burns
Insulated Gloves-1,000 Volt rated, Class 0

All,

 

We have been installing grid-tie PV systems for some time now, without
purchasing insulating electricians gloves. Assuming that we will be working
with at most 480VAC and 600VDC energized components, what make/mfgr could
RE-wrenches recommend?
