Bronze Body & Jaw 5/8-11 UNC thread Length: 11.5" FLEXIBLE INSULATED JUMPER CABLES Cable meets requirements of ASTM F2321. Flexible Insulated Jumper Cables are lightweight and resistant to oil, heat, moisture, ozone and abrasion. The cable is embossed every three feet with the conductor size and kv rating. All jumper cables use fine stranded conductor and a new EPR low temperature unipass orange CV cured jacket. The fine stranded copper conductor is alloy coated and assembled in a unidirectional rope lay for extra flexibility. The conductor has a semiconducting shield surrounding it to relieve voltage stress and improve dielectric strength and service life. 15kV JUMPER CABLE SIZE AWG CONTINUOUS CURRENT RATING, AMPERES 2754 # / / / kV JUMPER CABLE SIZE AWG CONTINUOUS CURRENT RATING, AMPERES / / kV JUMPER CABLE REL-CJC MCM (.162" to 1.25") REL-CJC MCM (.162" to.9") CABLE: #2-4/0 RATING: 35 kv Ø-Ø 2270 Orange Salcor Rubber 954 MCM (.162" to 1.25") Yellow Polyolefin 954 MCM (.162" to 1.25") 15kV 25kV 35kV 4/0 2/0 1/0 #2 1/0 2/0 1/0 2/0 JUMPERS & SWITCHING TOOLS JUMPER CLAMPS & CABLES SIZE AWG CONTINUOUS CURRENT RATING, AMPERES /

6 BREAK-SAFE LOAD BREAK & PICK-UP TOOL The BREAK-SAFE is a jumper clamp that functions like a portable switch. It is designed to operate on overhead distribution lines from #6-954 ACSR (1.1") in conjunction with a mechanical jumper. The BREAK-SAFE has three operating functions: LOAD BREAK LOAD PICKUP CONTINUOUS CURRENT DUTY 300 AMPS MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE In order to keep personnel at a safe distance, the BREAK-SAFE is operated with an insulated fiberglass hot stick for load break and load pick-up functions. The Yellow Safety Lock is also operated by a hot stick and helps prevent the tool from an unintended load break or pickup operation. USBS-15-1-PS USBS-15-2-PS USBS-27-1-PS USBS-27-2-PS USBS-46-1-PS USBS-46-2-PS DESCRIPTION 300 AMP 15 kv Loadbreak & Pickup Jumper Clamp w/ Floating Head 300 AMP 15 kv Loadbreak & Pickup Jumper Clamp w/ Duckbill Head 300 AMP 27 kv Loadbreak & Pickup Jumper Clamp w/ Floating Head 300 AMP 27 kv Loadbreak & Pickup Jumper Clamp w/ Duckbill Head 200 AMP 46 kv Loadbreak & Pickup Jumper Clamp w/ Floating Head 200 AMP 46 kv Loadbreak & Pickup Jumper Clamp w/ Duckbill Head USBS LOAD-RANGER XLT LOAD BREAK TOOL Introducing the industry s first portable switch fully rated from 7.2 kv to 27 kv at 600 amp for all three tool functions: LOAD BREAK LOAD PICKUP CONTINUOUS CURRENT DUTY The USBS is designed with a patent pending internal safety lock. If the tool is not reset the tool will not open. An external, manual locking pin keeps the tool either locked open or closed, until the operator is ready. This tool features durable electrical grade fiberglass housings and a glove friendly design. FEATURES Some of the unique patent pending features include an extra large clamp capable of handling all wire sizes up to nearly 2" diameter. Dual conductor bars allow the use of two mechanical jumper clamps which is needed to go above the typical 300 amp rating of mechanical jumpers. LOAD-RANGER XLT LOAD BREAK TOOL The arm attachment, counter mechanism and other key components are centrally located so the weight of the tool is aligned with the hot stick attachment giving the user maximum control. Has higher metal-to-metal clearance when fully extended, compared to the competition. This can reduce flash-over potential. The aluminum and fiberglass components are machined to very high tolerances and are designed for long life. Designed to be user friendly and simple to operate. The side reset button is easier than a plunger style and allows a lineman to keep their gloves on Low profile head enables our tool to reach switches that have animal guards installed. Our built-in counter is located in the body rather than the head allowing a smaller profile tool Numerous options including a Pad Mount version, hard case, soft case, extended insulated hood and an economical non-counter version.

8 TEMPORARY LOAD DISCONNECT TOOLS 8.3/15KV & 15/27KV APPLICATIONS* Available in two sizes Provides a temporary means of connecting and disconnecting equipment or circuits under load conditions Design does not have a fuse and does not provide protection for fault or overcurrent conditions Insulated bushing and hot parts are from Chance Type C-Polymer cutouts, including tubular-copper disconnect blade Arc-chute-type interrupter gives tool excellent loadbreak capability To interrupt load currents, device employs a stainless steel auxiliary blade within Delrin arc chute Tool simply clamps onto primary conductor with a Grip-All clampstick. Bronze stud at lower end accepts clamp on temporary tap jumper After closing tool blade, the permanent tap can be disconnected The load can then be dropped or reconnected by operating blade tool It should never be closed into a fault or opened during a fault OPERATION Self-contained loadbreak device operates by simple disconnect stick No special or portable tools are required to operate unit To break current, insert a disconnect stick into operating ring and rapidly open device When opening, spring-loaded auxiliary blade snaps out through the arc chute to elongate, cool and extinguish the confined arc Loadbreaking operation is independent of the disconnect stick speed To provide a clearly visible break, the disconnect blade hangs in approximately a vertical position Unfused or unswitched loads can be disconnected by first installing this tool and a temporary bypass jumper in parallel with permanent tap connection TEMPORARY LOAD DISCONNECT TOOLS Both models include protective carrying case. INSTALLATION & REMOVAL To install the tool, first remove its main blade Next, secure both clamps of suitable temporary jumper onto tap stud of tool s lower hinge Use Grip-All clampstick to install on main line conductor Use clampstick to secure one of the jumper clamps onto line with load to be picked up Use disconnect stick to place blade in lower hinge of tool Use disconnect stick in operating ring to close blade according to safe work procedures Take care when removing disconnect stick to avoid opening blade The equipment or circuit is now energized through the tool Before removing tool, first make up a permanent connection so there are two energizing paths Use a disconnect stick in the operating ring to open the blade according to safe work procedures and to remove blade from lower hinge of the tool Use a clampstick to take jumper clamp from conductor and secure it on tool stud Then use the clampstick to remove the tool from the main line conductor JUMPERS & SWITCHING TOOLS DISCONNECT TOOLS REPLACES DESCRIPTION DISCONNECT BLADE ARC-CHUTE ASSY.
