The CPF-12998 Cementex #2 Stranded 5/8-11 NC Compression Ferrule is designed to safely drain residual capacitive charge after a circuit has been de-energized, reducing the risk of electrical shock and protecting both workers and equipment. It ensures controlled energy dissipation, preventing sudden discharges that could damage sensitive components. An optional resistor is available to further limit discharge current, allowing for more controlled and gradual energy release.

This tool features a 24-inch electrically tested fiberglass pole, compliant with ASTM F-711 standards, providing insulation and operator safety. The integrated hand guard enhances control while reducing the risk of accidental contact with energized parts. A 1/4-inch stainless steel hook with a 1-3/8-inch opening allows for secure attachment to capacitors and grounding points, ensuring a reliable discharge process.

For effective grounding, the CPF-12998 Cementex #2 Stranded 5/8-11 NC Compression Ferrule includes an extra-flexible No. 2 stranded copper grounding cable, which is covered with a durable safety yellow neoprene jacket for enhanced protection and visibility. The two-hole tin-plated copper lug, securely terminated with a heat-shrink sleeve, provides a long-lasting and stable grounding connection. The ground clamp and compression ferrule are sold separately, allowing for customization based on job requirements.

Ideal for electricians, utility workers, and industrial technicians, the CPF-12998 Cementex #2 Stranded 5/8-11 NC Compression Ferrule is essential for safely discharging stored electrical energy in power distribution systems, industrial electrical panels, and capacitor banks. By preventing accidental energy release, this tool enhances safety, protects electrical components, and ensures compliance with industry safety standards, making it an indispensable part of any electrical maintenance toolkit.
