need to be adopted in material standards to ensure that
discomfort is unlikely to occur under any method of use.
The analysis and tests have shown that a conductive suit
should have a relatively low resistance if it is to provide
comfort to the wearer under all live working conditions up to
765 kV. A tentative 400 Sl maximum value is proposed for
in-service suits, with a lower value for new suits. If the suit is
used only at lower voltages, or only on a structure, a higher
resistance value could be chosen. The study has also shown the
importance of providing low resistance contact between
the suit and body and the effect of tail- and boot-bonding.
