Dielectric Safety Nets
Barry Dielectric Nets are designed to protect live-line crews and the public by providing an efficient, nonconductive barrier during overhead stringing operations. Engineered using advanced synthetic fibers and tested up to 100 kV/foot akin to hot sticks, this insulating net system reduces the risk of accidental contact with a dropped conductor or sky wire, preventing potential injury and avoiding costly outages.
The nets are lightweight, robust and offer flexibility across various applications. They can be strung over wood poles or metal towers, and they remain installed for long periods without losing their insulating properties when subjected to the elements. In effect, these act as a protective barrier during maintenance or construction of new high-voltage lines. They are installed above energized substations, at road and train crossings, over public spaces/parking lots, or anywhere a temporary barrier is required to separate live zones from ground.
Live-line crews using Barry Dielectric Nets can work with greater confidence and reduced risk of human error or mechanical failure. This translates into improved productivity and fewer safety incidents. They are UV- and weather-resistant, ensuring reliable performance in harsh, wet or humid environments. The nets offer a tangle-free design, making them a rapidly deployable solution for crews working in confined or in windy environments. www.barry.ca
