Telescoping Disconnect Tool & Fuse Tool

A.

A. Epoxiglas Telescoping Disconnect Tools have maximum convenience for the lineman because they permit him to perform many routine jobs from ground level. The universal end fitting on the insulated top section accepts a wide variety of attachments so that the lineman can disconnect switches, replace cutout tubes and reclose, remove pole covers, prune trees, replace bulbs and complete many other overhead tasks...all with one tool. The sticks retract to approximately 5 ft. so that they can be carried on most trouble trucks, often in the cab section.

B. The FT-1 Fuse Tool is designed to assist in the installation and removal of most cutout type overhead fuse links. The Fuse Tool provides greater control of the fuse link during installation and removal. The reciever on the Fuse Tool is slotted down one side to allow for clearance of the fuse link ring.

When installing a fuse link, the slotted receiver on the Fuse Tool improves installation onto the cutout trunnion by maintaining the orientation of the fuse link, making it much quicker to install. Because of the open cylinder the user is able to line up the Fuse Tool with the fuse link for easy installation and removal.

When removing a fuse link, the Fuse Tool minimizes the risk of dropping the fuse link by capturing the link in the receiver. The Fuse Tool receiver holds the fuse link in place while it is dislodged and removed from the cutout trunnion. The switch hook on the Fuse Tool can be used to close in the fuse link.

By using the Fuse Tool, line crews are able to quickly and safely remove and install most cutout type overhead fuse links found in overhead distribution systems.

FEATURES:• Heavy duty fuse receiver• Corrosion resistant switch hook• Universal spline for standard hotstick attachment• Quickly and easily remove and install fuse links• Increased safety during fuse link replacement• Eliminate the danger of falling fuses

Tie & Hoist Link Sticks

A.

B.

A. Tie Sticks - Originally designed for installing tie wires (the wire that secures a conductor to an insulator). Tie Sticks use a variety of heads to take care of diverse applications and lineman preference.

Whether equipped with prongs or blades, both of which are available in a rotation version, these versatile hotsticks are used to do more than just install and remove tie wires.

B. Hoist Link Sticks - An insulating link stick must be used when working with a nylon-strap ratchet hoist on an energized line. A properly applied link stick insulates the hoist from an energized conductor. The hoist link stick is 1 1/4” in diameter and has a steel hook on one end and a swivel-eye (butt swivel) on the other end. For proper operation, attach the hook of the insulated link stick to a wire grip using the hook’s hot stick eye to operate the hook, and then connect the nylon-strap hoist to the link stick’s butt swivel.

Elbow Puller Tools

A.

B.

Elbow Puller Tools facilitate removing elbow connectors from bushings of transformers and other apparatus. Elbows that have been installed for a long period of time sometimes are difficult to remove because silicone grease on the interface of the elbow and bushing dries out and hardens. A special integral hook on the tool head fits through the rubber eye of the metal hook of the bushing cap. Used in the manner, the hook adds extra control and pulling power to the grippers.

A. Impact Elbow-Puller Tools

FEATURES:The lightweight tool employs a simple, slide-hammer mechanism to easily disengage and assist in replacing elbows. The tool and grippers help the operator control and elbow stiff underground cable lead. For a sure, balanced grip the 5 lb. slide-hammer is plastisol coated and flared at both ends. Also for secure handling, both front and rear handgrip areas of the pole are coated with Gripthread, a grit-filled rubber-base paint. Available in three lengths, the tools are made of 1 1/4” diameter orange Epoxiglas pole. The 6 and 8 ft. units meets OSHA requirements with 25 and 48 inches of insulation respectively from the tool end to the handguard (as factory assemble). On the 4 1/2 ft. unit (labeled “For Rubber Glove Use Only”) insulation length measures 5”.

OPERATION:To pull an elbow connector - Insert hook though eye on elbow. Close down grippers on elbow by rotating pole. Support tool with one hand on front grip behind handguard and other hand on slide hammer. Slam hammer from front to rear anvil. Resulting impact should release elbow with suffcient momentum to withdraw it from the bushing without extending arcing.

To replace an elbow connector - Follow the same procedure for pulling except use slide hammer impact against front anvil to help seat the elbow.

NOTE: Grippers not included. Order grippers separately, see replacement grippers table.

D.

Chain Binder Type Transformer Gins - A “must have” tool for hoisting equipment into position on a pole. These gins are made up of a lifting eye, mast, chain binder and base. The C400-0090 has a standard base that permits installation on a pole that offers no obstruction that may interfere with proper installation or operation. The C400-0315 has an extended base that facilitates the clearance of pole obstructions including a 4” x 5” crossarm.

Both models have a 3”’ diameter, 26” mast, 36” chain binder and have a 2,000 lb. working load rating.

When determining the force put on the gin’s lifting eye both the load and the pulling force must be considered. If a single block is attached on the gin’s eye and a 200 lb. transformer is being lifted - the force on the eye is 420 lbs. (including load x 10% to allow for single sheave block friction.)

Therefore the maximum load that may be lifted with a single sheave block is approximately 950 lbs.Example: (950 x 2) + (950 x 10%) = 1995 lbs.

Strap-Type Transformer Gins - Strap-Type gins use a ratchet strap binder rather than a chain binder, otherwise the ratings are similar to gins outfitted with chain binders. The 2” wide nylon strap is 44” in length to fit even the largest poles. The large ratchet handle and release mechanism is simple to operated even when wearing rubber gloves with leather protectors.

Both models have a 2,000 lb. working load rating, including load and fall-line pull. A swivel hook block should always be used in the eye of the gin, and a block with swivel or a capstan near the bottom of the structure should be used to control free end of the pull line and to avoid side-loading of the gin.

Insulating ScaffoldRitzglas Insulating Modular Scaffold is essential for the performance of hot line work on high and extra-high voltage systems, mainly substations.

The Insulating Scaffold provides for safe and comfortable positioning and access to necessary heights, especially in confined spaces such as substations. This equipment fostered the development of a large number of hot line works, extensively performed by the Hot Stick or Bare-hand Methods, meeting the Brazilian Standard NR-18 requirements.

Its structure is built with insulating poles, which electrical and mechanical characteristics are according to IEC-60855 and ASTM F 711 Standards Requirements. Its platform boards are made of fiberglass, therefore, the insulating scaffold can be used on energized systems up to 800 kV, with total guarantee of elecrical insulation and rated working load of up to 675 lbs, applied to the center of the platform.

The development of additional components increased the assembly options of the Insulating Modular Scaffold.

Plastic Guards

A.

B.

A. Air Gap Pole Guards are installed before setting new poles to guard against accidental line contact. They also guard against pole contacts by personnel working in insulating aerial buckets or on platforms. Pole guards are made from orange thermoplastic, Type l ABS, cold weather, high impact plastic, Grade lll. Salisbury Pole Guards feature the unique surface area contacting the pole. This provides added insulation to keep electrical leakage to a minimum. When two pole guards are used to cover long lengths, the Air Gap dimples nest together “locking” the two together with ample overlap. The Air Gap design also allows for air flow between it and the pole minimizing moisture condensation and contamination buildup. Pole Guard use should be limited to brush contact. The opening should face away from possible line contacts, whenever possible. Pole Guards should be stored indoors to avoid prolonged exposure to UV rays and should be cleaned with a warm detergent solution.

B. Distribution Wildlife Shields are installed on more than 100,000 transformers. Rauckman Distribution Shields offer decreased animal outages without compromising the insulator’s performance.

The types of animals that infiltrate utility equipment vary from region to region. The squirrel continues to be the #1 culprit with birds not far behind. A further look at the animals that invade substations reveals that a bird’s nest attracts raccoons, snakes and cats looking for food. Some animals enter substations because the equipment may be warmer than the ambient temperature. It is not all scientific though - squirrels are playful and like to explore!

The graph shows the result of a 1990 IEEE survey that asked utilities to identify animals that are known or potential sources of animal-related outages.

A. Original Tana Wire Markers - This is the original model of the Spherical Power Line Marker, and stil the most popular and economical. It was designed in the 1960s in cooperation with the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics and the Arkansas Division of the Federal Aviation Administration. It has remained in continuous production, with only minor changes, since its introduction.

This Marker installs easily on any wire 1/8” - 1” (Custom wire sizes available) through the use of two UV resistant neoprene strip bushings installed on the wire to match the diameter of the openings (boss) in the Marker. The Marker is then securely bolted around the wire, clamping down on the bushings.

B. Night Visibility Reflective Tape - After years of research, in cooperation with the US Army, the FAA, and the 3M Corporation, we came up with the best means of making a Marker visible at nigh time. This Engineer Grade Reflective Tape has reflective properties several times stronger than that of other methods, and is hundreds of time more economical and reliable than a lighted marker.

3M Engineer Grade Night Visibility Reflective Tape is available as an option on all TANA Wire Markers.
