A discharge stick is a safety device used to safely discharge residual high voltage from equipment like cables, transformers, or capacitors after testing or operation. It typically consists of an insulated shaft, a metal contact tip, an internal resistor, and a grounding cable. The resistor ensures controlled discharge to prevent sudden arcing, while the grounding cable directs the charge safely to earth. Discharge sticks are essential in high voltage testing environments, such as after VLF, DC, or AC withstand tests, to protect personnel from electric shock.
