Electrical rescue rod is a vital safety tool used in high-voltage electrical installations to safely rescue individuals who have come into accidental contact with live equipment. It is constructed from high-dielectric strength, non-conductive materials such as fiberglass to ensure complete insulation from electric current. The rod typically features an insulated handle and a hook at one end, allowing rescuers to maintain a safe distance while pulling the victim away from the live source without risking their own safety. Commonly used in substations, switchyards, and other high-voltage areas, the rescue rod is an essential part of electrical safety equipment and must be regularly inspected and tested to ensure reliability in emergency situations.
