Megger EST 35-UK Discharge Rod

The Megger EST 35-UK Discharge Rod is a high voltage safety accessory designed for the controlled discharge and visible earthing of cables and test units after testing. It is used where stored charge can remain on a cable after dielectric or fault location work, giving operators a safer and more controlled way to remove that energy before earthing. Rated for 35 kV working, it is well suited to HV cable testing applications where safe discharge is a critical part of the job.

A key benefit of the EST 35-UK is its damped discharge design. The discharge resistor built into the tip limits discharge current and provides a controlled discharge, helping to remove cable charge quickly while reducing post-charging effects. This makes it a practical choice for engineers carrying out cable testing and fault location work who need a simple but essential safety step within their workflow.

The rod is made from GFK fibre-glass strengthened plastic and features grip connection with generous safety clearance against accidental contact with high voltage. With a compact 50cm length, 0.95kg weight, 6 μF maximum capacity and 10 kΩ resistance, the EST 35-UK is a compact and easy to handle option for the discharge of HV cables and test equipment.
