Wear the insulation gloves at all times when working with the high voltage battery assembly, wires and components, whether the system is energized or not. It\u2019s recommended to use the \u201cone-hand rule\u201d whenever possible, which involves working with only one hand while the other hand is behind your back.<\/p>\n
Glove Inspection Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n The leather protector gloves by themselves do not offer any protection against high or low voltage. Always wear the outer leather protector gloves over the inner rubber insulator gloves.<\/p>\n The rubber insulating gloves include a stamped date that indicates when the gloves were \u201coriginally or last tested electrically.\u201d Rubber insulating gloves must be retested electrically by a certified lab 6 months after first use. The lab will restamp the gloves with the new \u201ctested\u201d date.<\/p>\n TIP:<\/strong> If the gloves certification age range has expired, do not use the gloves. The gloves should be tested and recertified or replaced. For the North America region, visit www.nail4pet.org to find an accredited recertification laboratory.<\/p>\n Before each use, the rubber insulation gloves should be removed from their leather protector gloves and visually and functionally inspected. Refer to the High Voltage Insulation Glove Inspection Procedure in the appropriate Service Information.<\/p>\n Inspect the insulation gloves by trapping air in the glove and sealing the opening to prevent any air loss. While pressing the glove to increase pressure, check for any pin holes, air leaks, wear or abrasions as well as any swelling that could indicate exposure to chemicals. (Fig. 6)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If glove damage is observed, do not use the gloves and have them tested and recertified or replace them.<\/p>\n Properly store both the insulator gloves and leather protector gloves when not in use. Do not fold the gloves. The gloves should be kept out of sunlight, excessive heat and humidity.<\/p>\n HV Glove and Leather Protector Set<\/strong><\/p>\n New HV Glove and Leather Protector Sets are available in the U.S. from GMDEsolutions.com. (Fig. 7) A 6-month insulating glove replacement program also is available that automatically orders and ships replacement insulating glove sets in 6-month intervals. In Canada, dealership clothing and linen supplier programs may offer purchase and recertification services.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n EL-48900-A HEV Safety Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n The EL-48900-A HEV Safety Kit is available from gmtoolsandequipment.com. (Fig. 8) The kit includes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Each glove set consists of a pair of rubber insulation gloves and a pair of leather protector gloves. The safety cones should be used to properly mark off the area around an HEV vehicle so others are aware that there is an HEV in the service bay.<\/p>\n Training Course<\/strong><\/p>\n To learn more about high-voltage insulation glove use, review course 59500.04V, Class 0 High Voltage Insulation Glove Inspection, on the GM Center of Learning (U.S.) In Canada, review course 18400.00W.<\/p>\n – Thanks to Zach Winters and Joe Ciagala<\/em><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When working on any high voltage system on a GM vehicle, certified and tested high voltage insulation gloves must be worn.
