PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR OPERATION UNDER VOLTAGE AND IN ELECTRIC FIELD OF COMMERCIAL FREQUENCY VOLTAGE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A41D13/08 

FIELD: protective clothing for individual protection of personnel operating on electric equipment from effects of high and superhigh voltage and electric field of commercial frequency voltage.

SUBSTANCE: protective clothing for operation under voltage and in electric field of commercial frequency voltage has vest with veil, overalls, cover for helmet, gloves made from current-conductive fabric, and shielding shoes connected by galvanization with one another through current-conductive contact leads. Vest, overalls and shielding shoes are formed three-layered. Upper layer of vest, overalls and shielding shoes is made from oil and gasoline resistant, watertight and soil resistant material, middle layer is made from current conductive material provided with double-layered current conductive coating thereon, said coating being uniformly deposited by galvanization process, and inner layer is made from cotton fabric. Current conductive silvered tapes are additionally provided on middle layer and connected therewith by galvanization, and current conductive contact leads of vest, overalls and shielding shoes are connected with middle layer and drawn outside through loops provided in inner or outer layer of clothing.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and enhanced reliability in protecting of personnel operating on electric equipment from effects of high and superhigh voltage and electric field of commercial frequency voltage.
