Kong Static Discharge Lead
Kong Static Discharge Lead
Static electricity represents a serious issue during helicopter hoist operations, as the helicopter in hover builds up a huge electrical charge.
The way to solve the problem is to allow the static electricity to discharge before any person gets in contact with the helicopter.
For this reason, during a hoist operation it is recommended to hook a wire to the hoist hook that is long enough to discharge static electricity before personnel on the ground grasp the hook or personnel on the hook touch the ground.
If entangled on the ground, the KONG static discharge lead is automatically disconnected from the hoist hook thanks to the safety fuse (from 40 to 60 Kg) fitted between the automatic Twist Look stainless steel connector and the wire.
In addition, a yellow textile protective sleeve ensures high visibility to the static discharge lead.
