Addressing Escalating Circuit Failure: A Proactive Approach
Electrical connectors, fundamental components of any power distribution system, are subject to inevitable aging and degradation. The only exception to this is a thermal-fusion weld, which effectively eliminates the electrical interface by creating a…
Wildfire Mitigation Benefits of ClampStar Engineered Electrical/Mechanical Shunts
As wildfire seasons become increasingly severe, the need for robust wildfire mitigation strategies has never been more critical. The risks posed by electrical systems operating in overgrown, dry environments are substantial, making effective management…

Extending the Life of Overhead Aging Assets with Focus on the Energized Portion of Transmission Line
CARL R. TAMM Classic Connectors, Inc USA SUMMARY The 21st Century has been deemed “The Era of Rebuilding.” Infrastructure around the globe, much built in the early 20th century, including roads, bridges, pipelines, and not to be ignored, our electrical…
Conductor Repair After Spacer Damper Damage
Damage caused by worn Spacers, Spacer Dampers, Dampers, Aircraft Markers, or other line hardware - or lightning and gun-shot - is easily and quickly repaired. An Australian utility corrected conductor damage on a 29.3 mm O.D. transmission conductor using…
ClampStar Units Have Protected This Major Utility’s Transmission System For The Last Decade
Recently, an existing 230kV ACSR-SD (self-damping) transmission line was rerouted to a new substation approximately ½ mile away. To accomplish this task and to accommodate right-of-way allowance, 6 new monopoles were set in the approximate center of an…
Connectors, Clamps, and ClampStar® - How are they different?
Connectors: A connector can be defined as a device for joining two or more conductors to provide a continuous electrical current path. Connectors generally fall into four types; automatic, compression, wedge, and bolted. The electrical and mechanical…
How Engineered Mechanical Shunts Are Superior For Overhead Connector Repairs
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you believed one thing to be true and then found out years later that it wasn't? For many years, experienced lineman and engineers believed that cutting out a splice on an overhead line and replacing it…
