Great video, but 1-why did you test the back of the gloves? I think the top part would have been better because it's the part in contact right? 2-A multimeter can measure this resistance? 3-Can you discern different materials by applying a voltage and seeing their resistance patterns? LIke different type of metals, that would be interesting I think it would be great if you could test some rubber gloves from amazon at different pricepoints and see if there are any differences. 4-Did you ever got shocked while using that device? lol
Thanks for your observations. (1) You're right, I should have tested the fingers and palms portions 🙂 (2) From what I knew, a standard DMM can measure resistance, but its results would not be a reliable indication of insulation integrity since the DMM's testing voltage is only around 1.5V, DC: it's designed for testing resistors and continuity. The Hioki 4057 insulation testing function, meanwhile, introduces up to 1000V to stress the testing object to find a weak point. However, its low-resistance testing function can impress between 4V and 6V to get a better result for continuity (3) My view of this hypothetical scenario is that the IR tester will simply "report" its findings regardless of the metal, but the interpretation of result will be determined by the user. It think it would be interesting in a laboratory setting. (4) Yes! A quick one, as I recall it was at 1000V testing voltage of the IR4057. A bit unpleasant but not dangerous since its maximum current (touching its tips together) is only 1.2 milliamperes, or less.
nice video... it would be interesting to check the very popular Nitrile gloves to see if nitrile (and nitrile foam) provide a proper resistance (insulation)
The main points: 1. It is very rare that you need to work on a live circuit so the need to have protective gloves is very limited for everyday person as compared to electricians or more so, linemen 2. In the event you need to work on live wires the gloves are only part of the equation. In addition to the gloves you have the other PPE, rules for how to work on the equipment and typically insulated tools for doing the work 3. When wearing the rubber gloves, you lose significant dexterity. These are not for doing work on live circuits like a house or even a lot of commercial situations The concern here is that people think they can buy these gloves and go work on their equipment and not be that much safer. It would be a false sense of security.
Thank you for your practical advice, which seems to me to be gained from real life experiences. There are indeed many factors to consider on electrical safety and you pointed out some of them. I appreciate them. Since my video merely scratched the surface of PPEs, I also mentioned that all applicable rules for safety must be followed when doing electrical works.
Thanks for your comments. I haven't tested regular household rubber gloves (like those laundry gloves). Even if they're rubber they pose an electrocution hazard for the operator doing actual live electrical work. I'd stick with the certified insulated rubber gloves.
I don't know what you mean by water resistance sir. I ordered my electrical safety rubber gloves from amazon. Two of them: ANSI/ASTM Certified, Arc Flash Class 00 (500V) & Class 0 (1000V). They were paired with suitable leather protector gloves as well. Hope this helps.
Hello I am mohitosh from India I also have a manufacturing gloves unit. And want to export if you require any type of gloves please give me a chance to serve you thank you

Sir, thank you so much. Loud and very clear.
I appreciate your comments. Glad the video helped Thank you for your support, Sir! Stay safe.

Right I’ve literally seen guys grab both phases with leathers and not even a sting so I’m curious as to how those cut gloves hold up
Very nice video. Thank you so much, for this information.
I appreciate your comments. Safe testing!

this is very interesting, thank you. i wonder how regular rubber gloves for house work would do in this test.

Thanks for information
Thanks...just what I was looking for.
Where I find this gloves
The yellow work gloves I ordered from Lazada, while the leather gloves that protect the rubber gloves I bought from amazon.
Great Video. Thank you so much
Where I purches this gloves
@@ranjitsoondas2403 I ordered the electrical leather gloves protectors from amazon, and the ordinary work gloves from lazada.
Nice
Thanks.
