Safety on a 400kV line is non-negotiable and must be treated with the utmost seriousness. The following are the most critical considerations:

• Minimum Approach Distances (MAD): The risk of arc flash is extreme at this voltage. Strict, legally mandated minimum approach distances from live conductors must be maintained at all times. Our insulated hot sticks and other tools are rated for this voltage, but they are an additional safety layer, not a replacement for proper clearance.

• Proper Grounding: When a line is de-energized for maintenance, it must be properly grounded on both sides of the work area to eliminate the risk of induced voltage from adjacent lines. We provide high-quality portable earthing and grounding kits for this critical task.

• Personnel Training and Certification: Only highly experienced and certified personnel who have undergone specialized EHV training should be allowed to work on these lines. The combination of our professional-grade equipment and a well-trained crew is the only way to ensure a safe and successful project.
