The Best Method For Repairing Overhead Connectors

May 4, 2017

|In Education, ClampStar News

This video shows a typical scenario using infrared inspection of an overhead transmission line to identify a hot splice and then the proper correction of that hot splice using a ClampStar engineered mechanical shunt. ClampStar, along with proactive maintenance practices improves safety and prevents unplanned outages. ClampStar is the industry’s only PERMANENT solution for protecting overhead splices and connectors. Click to watch video
