What are the most important safety considerations when working on high-voltage lines?

2025-08-13

Safety is the absolute priority when working on any power line, but the risks increase dramatically with higher voltage.

  • Arc Flash and Clearance: High voltage can "arc" or jump across a significant air gap, so maintaining a safe working distance is critical. Our insulated tools are rated to protect against this, but strict adherence to minimum approach distances is non-negotiable.

  • Insulation: All equipment and tools must have appropriate insulation ratings for the specific voltage of the line. A tool designed for medium voltage cannot be used on a high-voltage line.

  • Training and Procedures: Proper training is essential for recognizing hazards and implementing correct lockout/tagout and grounding procedures. Our equipment is designed to be used safely, but it is a tool for a qualified and well-trained professional.

By providing a wide array of high-quality, professionally-rated tools and equipment, Ningbo Changshi helps crews work more safely and efficiently across all voltage classifications.
