Colega Flávio, propus o que propus porque pensei que \"varas isolantes/isoladas\" eram \"insulated poles\", que servem para manipular componentes electrificados. Os \"hot sticks\", por sua vez, servem para detectar se há ou não corrente num objecto ou numa área. Num acidente ferroviário, por exemplo, antes de as equipas de socorro puderem acudir aos sinistrados é necessário certificar-se de que os carris, as carruagens e a área não estão electrificados por uma ligação qualquer às catenárias. Esta é a função dos \"hot sticks\".

The DELSAR AC Hot Stick provides warning of exposed high voltage AC from a safe distance. The AC Hot Stick will give early audible and visual warning of the presence of AC voltages without the need to contact the surface which carries the dangerous AC potential. The AC Hot Stick will beep and an LED will flash with an increasing rate as the unit is brought closer to the source.

The tool has found many applications, especially with first responders, fire, police and ambulances responding to vehicular accidents; with search and rescue operations in urban and rural settings as well as with clean up crews working on downed trees after wind and ice storms. But also industrial user and anybody else who may unknowingly be exposed to the dangers of electrical shock or electrocution will appreciate the AC Hot Stick. While the instrument will not be able to \"see\" the AC voltage if grounded metal shields or conductors surround the source fully and prevent the signal from emanating, floating grounds or incomplete shielding will be noticed quickly. Its simple use, built-in selftests, sturdy construction and small improvements made over time based on our consumer comments have made the AC Hot Stick a safety tool, recognized and respected by its many users.

WARNING: This unit is meant for professional use only. It is an aid in detecting unshielded, live wires and dangerous AC potentials. It is not a substitute for voltage measuring devices.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Flavio Steffen : A tensão em fiação das empresas elétricas é de milhares de volts; não há como se detectar corrente aí, sem que quem o fizer não seja fulminado. Em meu trabalho com segurança de computação não se testa se existe ou não; desliga-se a pura e simplesmente.

Veja a minha justificação. Espero que esta achega esclareça a questão de uma vez por todas.
