Abstract
Electrocution is an unfortunate mishap prevailing in most of the countries across the world for which the electricians become a dominant prey due to their ignorance in utilizing the safety wearable’s especially gloves. The wearables are usually insulated and tested apart under various testing conditions], thus electrician gloves are designed to withstand 11KV of voltage. These gloves often considered optional by electricians as there’s no mandatory conventions imposed. This lethargic attitude poses the way for fatal electrocution. This paper focuses on building a device which monitors the health of the electrician and which composes of measuring instruments which measures the voltage, ampere, inductance, capacitance, resistance, rotation per minute and connectivity test. The health monitoring system and the measuring instruments are integrated on the insulated electrical gloves. Besides, the gloves do calculate the working hours of the electrician once he wears it. By this, the gloves become mandatory for electricians who work on live-wire.
