Boddingtons Electrical Premium Jointers PVC Umbrella Non-Conductive
An Electrician's Non-Conductive Umbrella is a specialized safety tool used by electricians and utility workers to provide protection from rain or other weather conditions while working near or on live electrical equipment. Unlike regular umbrellas, these are made from materials that do not conduct electricity, such as fiberglass or other non-conductive composites, which significantly reduces the risk of electrical shock.
A stable and fillable umbrella base made from a durable polypropylene design, with a square plastic parasol base which can be filled with approximately 13 litres of water or sand. Its 13 litre capacity provides maximum strength and stability. Standard Specifications: - Weight - 1kg |

- Fiberglass telescopic handle (1.5 m to 2.1m)
- Unlike metal telescopic poles not working when knocked and dented our fiberglass telescopic poles continue working
Key Features:
- Non-Conductive Material: Typically made from fiberglass or composite materials that prevent electricity from flowing through the umbrella.
- High-Voltage Protection: Designed to be used in environments where there is a risk of accidental contact with live wires or electrical conductors.
- Durability: These umbrellas are often reinforced to be sturdy, able to withstand harsh weather conditions, and ensure long-lasting protection.
- Insulation: In addition to being non-conductive, the design ensures that water does not create pathways for electricity, a critical feature when dealing with rain.
These umbrellas are commonly used by workers in the power and utility industries, especially when performing maintenance or repairs on electrical grids during adverse weather conditions. Their purpose is to ensure the safety of workers by preventing electrical accidents that can happen due to conductive materials or water acting as a conduit for electricity.
