Aluminum Alloy Hot Line Tap Clamp
The Hotline Tap Clamp is a precision-engineered electrical connector designed for live-line (hotline) tapping in overhead power line construction. It enables safe, secure, and efficient tapping of energized conductors without interrupting power flow. Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, this clamp ensures reliable conductivity and mechanical integrity in harsh environmental conditions.
Key Features:
- Live-Line Installation: Enables safe tapping of energized conductors without power shutdown.
- High Conductivity: Made from tin-plated aluminum or copper alloy for optimal electrical performance.
- Corrosion Resistant: Resistant to rust, oxidation, and atmospheric degradation.
- Secure Grip: Serrated jaws and heavy-duty fasteners ensure firm contact and minimal resistance.
- Thermal Expansion Tolerance: Maintains grip under temperature fluctuations.
- Tool-Compatible: Designed for use with hotline tools and hot sticks.
- Universal Fit: Accommodates a wide range of conductor sizes and types.
- Insulation Piercing Options: Available in models with insulation-piercing capabilities for quick tap connections.
