What testing device is used to check insulation integrity of HV rubber gloves before use?
Direct Answer
Option A: Manual air inflation pump / glove tester to check for pinhole leaks, plus visual inspection
High Voltage safety protocols require rigorous inspection of insulating gloves before every use. Manual air inflation tests identify pinhole leaks or cracks that compromise dielectric integrity. This physical check, combined with visual inspection, is a mandatory safety prerequisite under standard High Voltage Marine Electrical Safety and PTW procedures.
