Why wear a metal suit when repairing a high tension wire?

Answer:

According to the position of human body, live work can be divided into equipotential work, ground potential operation and intermediate potential operation. When the equipotential work, the human body directly contact the high voltage live parts. In high voltage electric field in the human body, there will be dangerous current flows, endanger the personal safety, thus all entered the high electric field staff should wear a full shield clothing.
The utility model has the function that an equipotential shielding surface is formed at each part of the outer surface of the human body in a high-voltage electric field after wearing, thus protecting the human body from the harm of the high-voltage electric field and the electromagnetic wave. The clothing of the whole set shall include coats, trousers, hats, socks, gloves, shoes and corresponding connecting wires and connectors.
High voltage protective clothing (110-500KV) for live working use stainless steel fiber and high flame retardant fiber (DuPont, aramid fiber, Japan, ALEC), according to reasonable proportion, weaving by special process. The product can effectively shield the high voltage electric field, and has the advantages of small resistance, permanent flame resistance, washing resistance, sweat resistance, durability, good ventilation, soft and comfortable wearing.
