Grounding clamp with insulated handle
A ground clamp with insulated handle is a safe connection for returning the welding current. The insulated handle protects the operator from electrical short circuits and electric shock.
Physical-chemical mechanism of action
The ground clamp with insulated handle safely conducts the welding current back to earth. The insulated handle prevents the current from flowing through the operator's hands.
Metallurgical relevance & risks during welding
Without an insulated clamp, there is a risk of electrical short circuits and electric shock. This can result in serious injury or even death.
Workshop practice & instructions
Always use a ground clamp with insulated handle for welding work. Make sure the handle is insulated and free of damage. Check the insulation of the handle before use.
