Yes, it is possible to receive an electric shock without making direct contact with a power line. This phenomenon, known as an electric arc or "flashover," can occur when a person, tool, or piece of equipment gets too close to a high-voltage conductor. Electricity can jump across an air gap to find a path to the ground. The distance this arc can travel increases with the voltage of the line. This is why maintaining a safe clearance distance, as defined by safety regulations and local utility providers, is absolutely essential.

Our company specializes in manufacturing high-quality tools and equipment, including insulated accessories for overhead lines, to help mitigate these risks and ensure the safety of workers operating in close proximity to energized conductors.
