What color is rubber equipment rated 00 and what is its voltage protection?

Rubber equipment rated at 00 is designated by the color beige and is used for electrical protection at voltages of 500/750 volts. This rating indicates that the equipment is suitable for working on live electrical circuits with voltages up to 750 volts AC and 1,000 volts DC. The selection of beige for this category indicates a specific insulation quality and safety standard that aligns with the voltage protection levels.

Understanding the color coding and corresponding voltage ratings is crucial for safety practices in electrical work. Different ratings prescribe appropriate use cases and potential hazards associated with their voltage capacities, helping users to select the right tools for specific tasks and environments. This ensures compliance with safety standards and minimizes the risk of electrical shock or accidents while working on or near energized systems.
