Boddingtons Electrical Insulated Fixing Safety Clamps
Standard
![]() | Insulated according to DIN VDE 0680-01, usable up to 1000 V AC/1500 V DC |
Insulated Fixing Safety Clamps are critical tools used in electrical work, particularly in high-voltage environments, to ensure safety while making connections or securing conductors. These clamps are designed to provide both mechanical security and electrical insulation, reducing the risk of electric shock or short circuits.
Features
- Rubber contact pieces inserted in the working head
- High-performance spring made of piano wire
- Joint with special guide ring
- Made of impact-resistant plastic
- For use with orange neoprene or transparent shrouding/insulating blankets
Key Features of Insulated Fixing Safety Clamps:
Material:
- Constructed from high-strength, durable materials such as reinforced plastic or fiberglass, which have excellent insulating properties.
- The clamping surfaces may be made from non-conductive materials or coated with insulating materials to prevent electrical conductivity.
Design:
- Typically designed with a robust, spring-loaded mechanism that provides a secure grip on cables, conductors, or other components.
- The clamps often feature wide jaws or adjustable components to accommodate various sizes of cables or fixtures.
- Ergonomically designed handles with insulating grips to ensure safe handling, even when wearing protective gloves.
Electrical Insulation:
- Rated for specific voltage levels to ensure that they can safely be used in environments where there is a risk of electrical exposure.
- The insulation prevents accidental conduction of electricity through the clamp, protecting the worker from potential electrical shocks.
Safety Features:
- May include features such as locking mechanisms to hold the clamp securely in place during work.
- Some models come with additional safety indicators or features that ensure proper alignment and secure attachment before use.
Compliance:
- Manufactured to comply with safety standards like IEC or ASTM, ensuring they meet the necessary requirements for use in electrical applications.
- Each clamp is typically marked with its voltage rating and any relevant certifications.
Durability:
- Designed to withstand the rigors of industrial use, including exposure to UV rays, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical wear.
- The insulation is resistant to wear, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh environments.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Provides a secure and insulated connection, reducing the risk of electrical shock or short circuits during electrical work.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from securing conductors during maintenance to holding components in place during installations.
- Ease of Use: Designed for quick and easy application, allowing electricians and technicians to work efficiently while maintaining high safety standards.
Usage:
Insulated fixing safety clamps are essential tools for electricians, linemen, and maintenance workers who deal with live electrical circuits. They are commonly used in power distribution, electrical installations, and repair work, where ensuring a safe and secure connection is critical. By providing both mechanical stability and electrical insulation, these clamps help to prevent accidents and ensure a safer working environment.
