The major risk is the meter blowing up, so that's what you protect for. One of the utility guidelines is 4 calorie PPE for 240V meters and 20cal for 480V meters.

So if we figure 4cal for house meters then 70E would want:

  • Arc-rated long-sleeve shirt and pants or arc-rated
    coverall

  • Arc-rated face shield (see Note 2) or arc flash suit
    hood

  • Hard hat

  • Safety glasses

  • Hearing protection

  • Heavy duty leather gloves

  • Leather footwear

    I'm a firm believer in simple PPE, because the more steps and bullshit the less likely guys are to use it. I would do it so you're putting on 3 things:

  1. Get an arc-rated long-coat.
    Super easy to put on, no screwing around with pants and suspenders. Look around you can probably find it for below $150. This 12 calorie on Amazon is a steal, this is normally a $500 coat.

  2. Get a face shield & hardhat combo.
    It stays on it's own hardhat, so again: Easy to put on and off. That 10 calorie model is probably about as cheap as you're gonna find. If you want more protection or one that isn't tinted green they get more expensive from there.

  3. Get a class 0 insulated glove kit and Youtube the proper use and care.
    Your hands are almost always gonna be the closest point to any arc flash, and there's a good chance they will need much more than 4 calorie protection. We know the insulated glove & leather protector combination is fantastic arc-flash protection, even though it doesn't have an official rating. You also get the added benefit of shock protection through 1000V.

    If you don't want to deal with the extra care necessary for insulated rubbers, I'd go with arc rated leather gloves. But be aware: Those offer zero voltage protection.
