The BREAK-SAFE® is available in four models with either a Floating Head or a Duckbill Head:
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.
Conductor Sizes (ALL): #6 copper min. up to 954 ACSR (1.1" dia.) MAX.
Features:
- Key Features and Benefits:
- Operates at a maximum of 27 kV and handles up to 300 amps for load break, load pickup, and continuous current duty, supporting versatility in high-voltage overhead distribution systems.
- Patented design functions as a portable switch, adding flexibility and functionality to temporary mechanical jumpers, thus reducing downtime and enhancing field crew efficiency.
- Enables load break and pickup operations using an insulated fiberglass hot stick, ensuring operators maintain a safe distance from energized lines and improving overall safety.
- Features a yellow safety lock that is also hot stick operable, preventing unintended activation and providing clear visual indication of the tool's status.
- Lightweight and compact construction (7.9 lb; 31-inch length; 2.5-inch diameter) makes the tool easy to handle and transport in the field.
