Static Discharge Stick

A static discharge stick is a specialized tool designed to safely remove residual static electrical charges from de-energized electrical components like capacitors, by providing a path for the charge to dissipate to the ground through a connected grounding cable, typically used before maintenance work is performed on high voltage systems; it usually consists of a fiberglass handle with a conductive hook or probe at one end and a grounding cable attached to the other, ensuring the user remains insulated from potential remaining voltage while discharging the static charge.
