Insulating sticks technical guide for electrical work Protecting employees is a key factor in avoiding any risk of electrical accidents. Working safely at a distance must be carried out in accordance with well-defined procedures and standards. That’s why CATU, a specialist in electrical risk prevention for over 100 years, has developed dedicated solutions for insulating sticks, and presents them in this new guide. The purpose of this technical guide is to provide an overview of the different types of insulating and solutions for working in complete safety. CATU sets out what you need to know...

Why use insulating sticks? The use of these solutions becomes necessary whenever an isolation distance between an operator and a potentially live electrical part to ensure their safety. The right length of insulating sticks will provide the right level of protection to the operating voltage. These devices can be used all operations requiring remote work, such as: • connection and disconnection operations, • installation and removal of earthing equipment, • checking for absence of voltage, • fuse replacement, • equipment cleaning, • measurement of overhead conductors, • rescue operations, • installation...

How to choose an insulating stick? CATU’s wealth of experience will help you select your insulating stick, based on current standards, stick types and and tube performance, using the following questionnaire: 1- Determine the nature of the operation The choice of stick type depends first and foremost on the nature of the operation: checking for absence of voltage, grounding, switching, etc. 2- Knowing the rated voltage This data is essential, and enables us to predict the minimum insulation distance according to the voltage ranges defined by EN 50110-1 and minimum approach distances. High voltage...
