The Bare-hand Stick is used for connecting the conductive strap of the Conductive Suit with the energized conductor, to equalize the potential between Conductive Suit and energized conductor. This prevents possible discomfort while performing live works.

Whenever performing maintenance with the Bare-hand Method, the first contact between the Conductive Suit and the energized conductor is made by the Bare-hand Stick. Similarly, at the end of the work, the Bare-hand Stick will be the last component to be disconnected, preventing thus the electrical arch from reaching the lineman.

When returning to ground potential, first the Bare-hand Stick must touch the structure to discharge of the static energy.

FLV02544-1 is made of dia. 32 mm (1.25") Ritzglas® poles, equipped with pole hanger and provisions for connection of the conductive strap of the Conductive Suit.

TYPES OF CONNECTION

Detachable clamp: the clamp also connects to the conductor by twisting the stick, however it allows the lineman to remove the stick, leaving only the clamp attached to the conductor (this clamp is provided with quick connection head, which connects to the clamp eye-ring firmly and safely).
