- Page 3 Applications The BREAK-SAFE is a jumper clamp that functions like a portable switch. It is designed ® to operate on overhead distribution power lines in conjunction with an appropriately rated and approved jumper cable. There are three operating functions: load break, load pick-up and continuous current duty.
- Page 4 The BREAK-SAFE has been tested to the full voltage and amperage rating for nominal ® power factors of 70%-80% for both load break and load make applications. However, the tool is rated by system voltages. For example, a 15 kV tool on a 15 kV system will usually experience voltages of 15 kV / √3 or about 8.6 kV.
- Page 5 Operation Prepare the Tool for use Refer to the laminated Field Inspection Procedure card before each use. Place the BREAK-SAFE in the UNLOCK Position (FIGURE 1) by lifting the Yellow ® Safety Lock to gain access to the Load Break Ring. Pull the Load Break Ring until the tool locks in the open tool position (the internal yellow tube is visible).
- Page 6 18. If the SOURCE SIDE circuit is to remain energized while work is done, move the jumper cable to the conductor bar of a Utility Solutions Jumper-T (USJT-001/2) or equivalent device (FIGURE 7). This will create a visible gap using rated insulation.
- Page 7 This test DOES NOT replace scheduled maintenance or extend the time between scheduled maintenance. This test is performed using the Utility Solutions USGT-600 Grounds Tester w/ REACH Technology or equivalent device. Refer to the testers’ instruction manual for proper set- up procedures.
- Page 8 Load Break & Pick-up Tool for any defects ® in manufacturing for the period of one year. If the tool is returned within that time period, Utility Solutions will repair or replace the tool free of charge. B-01031 USBS Manual (12-19-18)
