The patented BREAK-SAFE from Utility Solutions Inc. is a jumper clamp that functions like a portable switch. It is designed to operate on overhead distribution lines in conjunction with a mechanical jumper. The BREAK-SAFE has three operating functions: Load break, load pickup and continuous current duty. The BREAK-SAFE is available in four models with either a Floating Head or a Duckbill Head: 15 kV / 300 amp, 27 kV / 300 amp, 38 kV / 300 amp, and 46 kV / 200 amp.
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 pick-up operation.
