New shielding protective equipment for live working

Abstract

The new protective equipment forms a FARADAY cage, thus protecting the worker from unacceptably strong electrical fields as well as from being invaded by dangerous electric currents. The protective shielding clothing described is a personal protective equipment of the highest category. Therefore, it must be certified by an acknowledged examining and certifying authority. An application with regard to the attestation of conformity for this protective clothing hasbeen submitted to the Examination andCertification Section of the Expert Committee for Electrical Engineering.
