Earthing sticks are hand-held insulating sticks for approaching clamps of earthing and short-circuiting devices to parts of electrical installations for earthing and short-circuiting purposes.
They consist of an insulating element, black ring, handle and coupling for attaching clamps. Earthing sticks have to be selected according to the weight of the earthing and short-circuiting device (see also "max. load on the operating head in kg").
The insulating element is the part of the earthing stick between the black ring and the end of the earthing stick in the direction of the clamp. It ensures that the user maintains the required safety distance and provides sufficient insulation. In installations exceeding 1 kV, the insulating element must have a minimum length of 500 mm.
