Hot Line
Features:
- MPS Hot Line Clamps are live line tools compatible for distribution tap connections.
- Bronze Alloy and Aluminum Alloy castings offer high strength, corrosion resistance, and conductor compatibility.
- Extended jaw width means excellent conductor contact, reduced joint temperature, minimal conductor cold flow and reduced twisting of the conductor during installation.
- Spring loaded feature compensates for cold flow and offsets tightening torque vibrations.
- Forged eyebolts provide corrosion free strength and uniformed expansion under loading.
- The side positioned tap connection prevents possible corrosion of conductor or clamp on bimetal connections.
- Successful Current Cycle testing per ANSI C119.4 provides assurances that the MPS hot line clamp will withstand the ampacity of a properly installed connection.
