Abstract :
Conductive clothing are a mandatory tool to assure the safety of live line working when the bare hand technique is used. This is particularly true for the maintenance of UHV lines. In this work we discuss some tests performed to determine the shielding characteristics of facial masks. Some numerical simulations have been performed to assess how much of the tests prescribed by the IEC 60895 standard are cautionary.
