High Voltage Grounding Equipment for Linemen and Electricians

Electrical equipment must be grounded to ensure the safety of people and equipment in the surrounding area. Grounds are needed whenever workers perform tasks on non-current carrying electrical power systems that may become re-energized for some reason – equipment malfunction, stored current, accidental re-energization. They effectively ground any electrical current that may pass through power lines or a circuit being worked on, reducing the potential for shocks and arcs.
