Electrical Hot Stick is an insulated tool used by linemen and electrical workers to safely perform operations on live high-voltage equipment without direct contact. Made from high-strength, non-conductive materials such as fiberglass-reinforced epoxy, hot sticks allow operators to carry out tasks like opening or closing disconnect switches, replacing fuses, or testing voltage while maintaining a safe working distance. These tools come in various lengths and configurations depending on the voltage level and specific job requirements. Widely used in transmission and distribution systems, hot sticks are essential for ensuring worker safety during live-line maintenance and are routinely tested to meet stringent electrical and mechanical standards.
