Megger Est 35 High Voltage Discharge Rod

When conducting dielectric tests on cables or doing fault location measurements with high DC voltages, the cable capacitance is charged and represents a dangerous amount of energy. 

The Megger discharge rod touches the live wire with a tip that features a discharge resistor that limits the discharge current and ensures a damped discharge. Within a split second most of the cable‘s charge has flown off, eliminating the post-charging effect. The discharge rods are made of GFK (fibre-glass strengthened plastic). They are equipped with grip protection with extra-long safety clearance against physical contact with high voltage.
