ZXYTM-Ⅲ Insulating Boots & Gloves Withstand Tester: Advanced HV Safety Verification for Electrical PPE

Time:2026-02-26 Number:8

In the power industry, the integrity of insulating personal protective equipment (PPE) such as boots and gloves is critical to ensuring the safety of electrical workers against step and contact voltages. The ZXYTM-Ⅲ Insulating Boots Gloves Withstand Tester is a specialized high-voltage apparatus designed for the rigorous testing of dielectric strength and leakage current measurement. This article provides a technical overview of the system's architecture, operational features, and specifications, highlighting its application in preventative maintenance and regulatory compliance for electrical safety departments.

1. Introduction
Insulating rubber goods gradually degrade due to ozone, mechanical stress, and aging. Standards mandate periodic proof testing to verify their ability to withstand power frequency voltages without breakdown. The ZXYTM-Ⅲ facilitates this by performing AC withstand voltage tests while simultaneously quantifying the leakage current of individual test pieces, thereby isolating faulty units from serviceable ones.

2. Key Functional Features
The ZXYTM-Ⅲ is engineered for high-throughput testing in utility and industrial workshops. Its primary technical advantages include:

⑴Simultaneous Multi-Unit Analysis: Unlike sequential testers, the ZXYTM-Ⅲ can evaluate up to three pairs (six units) of gloves or boots in a single test cycle. This parallel testing architecture significantly reduces overall test duration.

⑵Per-Unit Current Discrimination: The system does not merely indicate a pass/fail for the batch. It provides discrete leakage current readouts for each individual glove or boot, allowing technicians to pinpoint the specific failed unit.

⑶Automated Pass/Fail Identification: Integrated logic compares measured leakage currents against predefined thresholds. The interface visually flags unqualified products, minimizing human error in interpretation.

⑷High Mobility: The integration of heavy-duty trundles (casters) allows the unit, which has a substantial weight of 80-100kg, to be maneuvered easily between storage and testing areas.

3. Technical Specifications & Performance Metrics
The ZXYTM-Ⅲ is designed to meet rigorous field testing demands with the following technical parameters:

⑴Power Supply: 220V AC, 50Hz input.

⑵HV Output Range: 0-30kV or 0-50kV (selectable model). This voltage range accommodates various class ratings of insulating rubber goods as defined by international safety standards.

⑶Test Capacity: 3kVA or 5kVA, ensuring sufficient power delivery to maintain voltage stability under capacitive load.

⑷Measurement Accuracy: Voltage and current measurements are rated at ±2% (±3 digits), providing reliable data for certification records.

⑸Data Management: Equipped with an LCD display for real-time monitoring of voltage and leakage current per channel. The built-in printing function allows for immediate generation of hard-copy test reports, which is essential for audit trails and compliance documentation.

4. Application in the Field
For high-voltage technicians and safety officers, the ZXYTM-Ⅲ serves as a diagnostic tool. By applying a controlled over-voltage, it verifies the insulation margin of the PPE. The direct readout of leakage current per unit is particularly useful; a sudden rise in current prior to breakdown indicates insulation degradation, allowing for proactive retirement of equipment before catastrophic failure occurs in the field.

5. Conclusion
The ZXYTM-Ⅲ Insulating Boots Gloves Withstand Tester represents a convergence of high-voltage engineering and practical usability. Its ability to simultaneously test multiple items with per-unit current measurement makes it an indispensable asset for labs and maintenance depots tasked with ensuring the dielectric safety of live-line tools. By combining mobility, accuracy, and automated reporting, it ensures compliance while streamlining the workflow of electrical safety verification.
