1. Clamps: Clamping Size Range, Current Capacity, Application Clearance, and Terminal Connection Type (threaded or pressure type)

2. Cable: Length, Jacket Type (many colors available), and Adequate Capacity to Withstand Maximum Potential System Fault Current Magnitude and Full Time Duration

3. Ferrules: Copper or Aluminum, Fit Cable Size,
and Connection Type to Match Clamp
(threaded or pressure type) Note: Either copper
or aluminum ferrules may be used with copper cable.

4. Support Stud (replaces strap on strain relief clamp):
This option recommended on only one clamp to help
control lifting the set to the first clamp attachment point.

5. Shrink Tubing:
This option recommended for stress relief and inspection of cable strands between ferrule and jacket.

Hi-Line Utility Supply can extend your budget and help improve safety records by eliminating the worry and hassle of assembling temporary custom grounds and jumpers. We currently manage this process for a number of companies including Intren (Formerly Trench-It).

Tree Trimming                                          

Electrocution is the single greatest common danger among
tree trimmers. Only qualified line-clearance tree trimmers
are allowed within 10 feet of energized power lines. According
to OSHA, qualified employees are "those who are knowledgeable
in the construction and operation of electric power generation,
transmission, or distribution equipment involved, along with the
associated hazards." Download this handy safety book produced
by the Kansas State University Research and Extension office
for more safety tips regarding tree trimming. Get the safety products
and equipment you need to keep power lines clear of trees and
branches from Hi-Line Utility Supply Co.
