Showa Best Glove 240-08 Arc Flash Gloves personal protective equipment

SKU CH-QTYB-2BESS

Arc-rated knit gloves with Kevlar construction, ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A3 and EN 388 3X31C protection for electrical and mechanical hazards

  • ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A3 protects against sharp edges
  • EN 388 3X31C rating confirms abrasion and tear resistance
  • NFPA 70E compliance meets arc-flash safety requirements
  • Kevlar knit construction delivers heat-resistant hand protection
  • CAT III CE 2777 certification verifies high-risk PPE approval

Arc Flash Gloves for Electrical Work

These gloves meet NFPA 70E and carry a CAT III CE 2777 rating for arc-flash protection. They are built with seamless Kevlar knit rated ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A3 and Abrasion Level 3. The EN 388 score is 3X31C. They suit electricians and maintenance crews facing thermal and cut hazards.

Neoprene Palm Coating Improves Grip

The dipped neoprene coating covers the palm only and is not double-dipped. It adds dry and light-oil grip without reducing flexibility. The finished hem prevents fraying during repeated donning. Insulation is not included so the gloves stay thin for dexterity.

Cut Level A3 Defines the Protection Limit

The ANSI/ISEA A3 rating stops moderate cut hazards but will not withstand high-force blades or heavy sheet metal. Buyers needing higher cut resistance must select a different glove class. The arc rating and coating stay the same across the range.

Questions about this item

Will the Kevlar knit on these 240-08 gloves need replacing after repeated arc flash exposure?

The Kevlar seamless knit is designed for heat resistance and cut level A3 protection; replace the pair if the coating wears through or the knit shows charring or cuts.

What limit appears first when wearing these gloves continuously in a hot environment?

The EN 388 3X31C rating shows abrasion level 3 and cut level C; the coating will wear before the Kevlar knit degrades under sustained heat.

Do the neoprene palm coatings on these gloves get slippery or trap heat during all-day use?

The dipped grip coating covers the palm only, so the back of the hand stays breathable while the palm maintains grip without becoming slippery from sweat.
