Just to add that obviously if you do this sort of thing regularly or are going to tackle systems where arc-flash is likely then you should get the proper PPE. Often gloves have a rubber insulating inner and a leather outer for mechanical protection and the arc-flash rating. For example:

Off you goto work.

Also to add don't were polyester/nylon, etc. but natrual fibers like cotton/wool/silk, and ideally a proper heat-resistant overall (again, you get arc-flash rated ones).

Synthetic material melt and sticks to your skin making any burn much harder for the medics to fix.

thanks for your advice and the links to the safety gear.
