Ansell 206488 Flame Resistant Arc Flash Gloves Xs Pair

Product Description

The ANSELL 206488 is a flame resistant arc flash glove designed for electrical workers who require reliable hand protection in high-voltage and arc flash hazard environments. Built on the 80-813 series platform, the glove features a Kevlar liner with a neoprene palm coating for combined cut resistance and thermal protection. Maximum arc flash protection is rated at 12 cal/sq cm, meeting the threshold for PPE Category 1 and Category 2 work under NFPA 70E. The knit cuff provides a secure, comfortable fit, and the ergonomic design supports dexterity during energized electrical tasks. Static dissipative construction adds an additional layer of protection in environments sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Size is X-Small, sold as a pair.

These gloves are suited for use by licensed electricians, industrial maintenance technicians, and utility workers performing tasks on or near energized electrical equipment. They are appropriate for residential and commercial electrical service work, panel maintenance, and switchgear operations where NFPA 70E compliance is required. The neoprene palm coating provides grip on both dry and lightly oily surfaces, making them practical for hands-on work with conductors, terminals, and electrical components. Medium fabric weight balances protection with wearability across extended service shifts.

Installation Notes

Gloves should be inspected before each use for cuts, punctures, or signs of coating degradation that could compromise arc flash or cut protection. Follow NFPA 70E guidelines for PPE selection based on incident energy analysis or PPE category method before performing any energized electrical work. Ensure gloves are fully dry before use in arc flash applications. Replace immediately if the Kevlar liner or neoprene coating shows visible damage.
