Portable Earthing Equipment are safety equipment designed for discharging & grounding of dead equipment. The system is designed for high fault levels so that even if during shut downs, when technicians are on the job, by mistake if the supply is switched ON, the Portable Earthing Equipment saves human life as well as equipment under maintenance. Special Line End & Earth End Clamps along with operating socket and earthing lead are used. The Line End Clamps, Earth End Clamps & operating sockets are made of very special aluminum alloys which can withstand high short circuit currents.
Using Portable Earthing Equipment, clamps are applied from remote just by turning the insulated operating pole and the operator never comes in contact with any conductor, so it is highly safe system. Using the common operating pole clamps are applied on each phase one by one.
For Dimensions of Insulated Rods please refer Specifications of Insulated Sticks at the beginning of Electrical Safety Equipment Section.
