PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
OVERVIEW

Personal protective equipment refers to any piece of equipment intended to be worn or handled by the worker to protect against multiple risks that
may endanger his/her health and safety at the workplace, as well as any other additional or accessory item designed for the same purpose.
Basically, personal protective equipment is a personal equipment (to be used by a single person) intended to protect a part of the body (helmets to
protect the head, face shields or safety glasses to protect the face, gloves to protect the hands, boots to protect the feet, insulating gloves and boots to
protect against electrical shocks, etc.).
Such equipment is designed and manufactured to protect the worker:
- against electrical risks (electric shock), preventing the direct or indirect contact with live conductors;
- against mechanical risks, acting as a protective shield for the body against items that can generate injuries by falling, impact or contact;
- against thermal effects generated by arc flash, acting as a thermal and mechanical shield.

COLLECTIVE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
OVERVIEW

Collective protective devices are intended to prevent or to decrease the actions of risk factors upon
one or more workers. Usually, collective protection materialises mainly by the provision of installation
with devices and appliances designed for the sole purpose of protecting the workers during the work
process.
The same category includes protection means for delimitating of the working area, intended to
prevent the injury of work team members, but also of persons who may enter the work area by
accident.

The material separation of the working area is performed by mobile temporary enclosures
intended to outline the work area clearly. Usually, these enclosures are used together with warning
safety signs.

Also designed to prevent the unauthorised access of persons in live power installations, permanent
equipment and devices are recommended to prevent access to cabinets or in substations.

In order to prevent the incorrect handling of actuators of electrical equipment, it is recommended to use the visible indication of equipment status (live
equipment, de-energized equipment / earthed / in overhaul) and to limit the actuation device using the mechanical locks.

Mechanical locks - heavy duty / steel plate version


Code: see the table
Mechanical locks - heavy duty / steel plate version - are used in particular against the unauthorised access of persons in substations or in the power
installations inside the cabinets. Given their constructive shape, locks are devices that provide mechanical lock-out of access in the area of live power
installations. Locks are operated with a special universal key that fits all lock models (they cannot be operated by any type of hand-made key).
Locks can be assembled on the metallic doors inside the substations or in cabinets, on their metallic cover and thus cannot be subject to vandalism or
destruction.

Mechanical locks - heavy duty versions are manufactured in two constructive versions, by the mechanical monobloc machining of the body (steel or
brass - explosion-proof version with the same characteristics and dimensions as the steel versions (BIT 90/BIF 65)).
Mechanical locks - steel plate version are made of steel in two constructive versions, with two dimensions of sizes of the housings, the mobile items
being of similar construction in both versions.

INSULATING EQUIPMENT / EQUIPMENT FOR LIVE WORKING
OVERVIEW

Insulating equipment is recommended to prevent direct or indirect contact with conductive part of power installations, live electrical equipment or
that becomes live accidentally.

The contact with the live component may either directly with a part of the human body, or indirectly by a conductive mobile item. In order to prevent
such situations generating electrocutions (electrical shocks), a series of special insulating equipment can be used, these items being designed and
manufactured in order to eliminate or decrease the risk of contact with live items.

This equipment can be classified in two categories :


=insulating equipment temporarily mounted in power installations to insulate live power installation / equipment elements or for protection or
workers;
=insulated and insulating tools and devices used for works on live power installations.

INSULATING STICKS AND ACCESSORIES
OVERVIEW

Insulating sticks are protective devices designed and manufactured to prevent contact with live conductive parts which become live
accidentally and to provide the minimum approach distance towards live parts during operations in indoor or outdoor power installations. If, in case of
low voltage installations, there isn’t a minimum approach distance and only the direct contact with live elements is forbidden, in medium and high
voltage installations the minimum approach distance is currently established by power distribution and transmission companies (provided by internal
regulations) and varies depending on the nominal voltage of the installation and the type of installation.
The nominal voltage of the installation represents the operating voltage of the insulating sticks (Un).

Insulating sticks consist of insulating tubes made of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), provided at the working end with :
- parts that allow the operation of some of the installation elements (typically hook-shaped);
- coupling systems that allow the attachment of other protection devices

The most common coupling systems found on the Romanian market are :
- ‘’Hexagon 12'’ socket system (typically made of plastic and found mainly in telescopic sticks), and
- ‘’RO bayonet’’ socket system (made of metallic items, found mainly in modular sticks used for the application of short-circuiting devices provided
with tightening clamps on the busbar by means of a screw).

Apart from these two systems, sticks can be provided, upon the client’s express demand, with :
- ‘’DIN bayonet’’ socket coupling system (made of metallic items),
- ‘’Universal’’ coupling system (sunrise, made of metal or plastic).

HEXAGON 12 RO BAYONET DIN BAYONET UNIVERSAL METALLIC UNIVERSAL PLASTIC

All insulating stick are provided with a handle separator to indicate that during the use of the stick, the operator’s hand must be placed exclusively on
the handle area. This limiter typically consists of a plastic ring or, in special cases, of a label. The vast majority of sticks are provided in the end area of
the handle with a shock protection plug.
Sticks that must be handled / extended vertically, without being lifted from the ground, are provided with a metallic sole to improve stability during
operation, the sole being pushed on the ground by the operator’s foot.
Upon the client’s express demand, particular stick types can be provided with extension pieces made of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) tubes to
increase the stick handle length.

Sticks have the following dimensional characteristics :


-total length of the stick - measured between the two extremities, in the circumstances that all stick modules are interconnected or all sections of the
telescopic stick are extended to the maximum
-working length of the stick - measured by the extremity that includes the coupling system or the handling piece (work head) to the handle separator
(as above). This working length must be higher than or equal to the approach distance specified in the regulations in force.
-handle length - measured from the handle separator ring to th other extremity of the stick (insulating plug), practically the length of the area
touchable by the operator’s hands.
-transport length - measured in the circumstances that the stick modules are disconnected or the sections of the telescopic stick are folded into
transport position.
-module / section diameter - outer diameters of tubes.
-weight - stick weight without transport casing.

INSULATING STICKS AND ACCESSORIES
OVERVIEW

Insulating sticks are manufactured in multiple constructive versions:


- modular, multipurpose (from multiple connecting elements (modules));
- telescopic, multipurpose (with multiple extensible sections);
- special design (engineered for a particular application).

Multipurpose modular insulating sticks (PMU or PMP) consist of one or more elements (modules) that can be connected to each other to obtain a
complete equipment and are provided with ‘’RO bayonet’’ socket coupling system which allows the attachment of other protection devices, adaptors
or accessories (optionally, they can be provided with other coupling systems, according to the client’s request).

‘’RO bayonet’’ coupling system can be adjusted into two positions:


- ‘’fixed’’ when the adjustment nut blocks the coupling system on the same axis with the stick axis, and
- ‘’articulated’’ when the fixing nut is loosened and allows the coupling system to be arranged in a position inclined in any direction, by max. 6° from
the stick axis.

The connection system between the stick modules consists of plastic parts, with good mechanical properties and shock resistance.

Modular PMU sticks can be used in indoor or outdoor power installations only in dry conditions - operating temperature range : -25....+55 °C
Modular PMP sticks can be used in indoor or outdoor power installations in dry and wet conditions - operating temperature range : -25....+55 °C

Multipurpose telescopic insulating sticks (PTU) are manufactured from two or more tubular sections (of various diameters) which can be
extended or folded in locked position and are provided with ‘’hexagon 12'’ coupling system which allows the coupling of other protection devices,
adaptors or accessories (optionally, they can be provided with other coupling systems, depending on the client’s request).

The stick is fastened in its operating position by the extension of sections (from the smallest diameter to the largest diameter) and locking of their
position by means of spring-loaded push-buttons.
The attachment of the voltage detector or of a different equipment in the hexagonal seat coupling system is ratched in position, and they are detached
by pushing the button.

In order to prevent damage or locking of push-buttons drives, on long telescopic sticks the button area is covered with a semi-transparent elastic
sleeve, thus preventing the entering of dust, sand or water in this area. These elastic sleeves provide the sticks with better resistence to shocks
generated by the stick falling on the ground.

PTU telescopic sticks can be used in indoor or outdoor power installations in dry conditions - operating temperature range : -25....+55 °C.

This class includes:
- sticks for the handling of disconnectors (PSU type),
- sticks for the handling of cables (PCU type)
- sticks for the operation of electrical equipment (PAE type)
- sticks for the rescue of injured persons (rescue sticks with hook).

Specialised sticks can be used in indoor or outdoor power installations, in dry conditions - operating temperature range : -25....+55 °C.

Depending on the field of use, insulating sticks are manufactured according to the provisions of SR EN 61230; SR EN 61235; SR EN 50508.
In order to allow the use of sticks for various purposes, they can be accompanied by a series of other equipment, adaptors and accessories.

Adapters are devices that connect the coupling system at the end of sticks and other equipment used for works / operations on medium and high
voltage outdoor power installations.
Accessories are devices used in conjunction with insulating sticks to perform various works / operations in power installations.

The main applications that require the use of insulating sticks are the following:
-applying and dismounting of phase clamps of short-circuiting switches
-applying and dismounting of insulating shutters
-applying and dismounting of hooks / anchoring devices for work at height
-handling of switches (disconnectors)
-handling of live cables
-cut-off of power connections in case of emergency
-checking of presence / absence of voltage with a voltage detector
-checking of phase load (current measurement) using tong test ammeters
-checking of the phase correspondence using homopolar phase indicator
-applying of fault indicators on live overhead lines
-detachment of a person subject to arc flash from the live power installation of contact and rescue outside the hazard area to provide first aid
-discharge of capacitive loads using an appropriate set of fuses
-removal of various objects fallen on live power leads
-deforestation in the proximity of live power installations
-cleaning of conductors, bars or insulators of live power installations, using various types of brushes or other devices.

Insulating sticks must be used in the installations and their intended purposes, specified in the operating instructions of sticks.

Insulating sticks are protective devices that require periodical dielectric inspection to make sure that their insulating properties are maintained. The
voltage of their inspection is called test voltage, with a value regulated by standards according to the operating voltage. Periodical inspections must be
provided in special conditions, in Laboratories certified by RENAR, the Romanian Accreditation Association, for such tests.

VOLTAGE DETECTORS
OVERVIEW

Voltage detectors are electronic equipment widely used as protective devices against electrical risks, their main purpose being to detect and
indicate the presence of voltage in low, medium and high voltage installations.

Voltage detectors are devices intended to check the presence / absence of voltage in all types of power installations.
Detectors provide optical and acoustic indications of the presence of voltage in the inspected power installation.
Voltage detectors are made according SR EN 61243 and are in a permanent stand-by state.

Voltage detectors for low voltage power installations are multi-purpose (multitesters) electronic devices designed for detection and indication of
voltage presence and other functions: continuity, resistance, rotary field indicator, diode test.

Voltage detectors for medium and high voltage power installations are electronic devices designed for checking of presence/absence of voltage
using an insulating sticks appropriate to the installation and environmental conditions. This type of detectors also involves the test of the device
functionality prior each use, and such test shall be performed by pressing the test button which will trigger the acoustic and optical indication of the
detector, confirming the appropriate charging level of the battery and the electronic circuits are in good conditions.
Medium and high voltage detectors are devices that need to be checked both at commissioning and at periodic intervals regulated by the
manufacturer.
Periodical inspections must be performed in special conditions, in notified laboratories.
Note: Romind T&G owns a high-voltage test laboratory accredited by RENAR (Romanian Accreditation Association).

Voltage detectors for urban public transportation (trolleybus / tramway) - DTTU type
Code: DTTU-Tb - for trolleybus
DTTU-Tv -for tramway
DTTu-Tb and DTTU-Tv voltage detectors for urban transport power installations (trolleybus
/tramway), with d.c. voltage of 825 V are warning equipment for the maintenance and operating
personnel on the existence of the electric shock hazard, by the optical and acoustic indication of
voltage presence.
Optical warning is made with intermittent red signals (for reversed polarity) or green (for normal
polarity), also visible in strong ambient lighting conditions.
Acoustic warning is triggered by intermittent signals with an intensity of 69 dB (A).

Both before and after each use, by pushing the test button and the triggering of signals, there will be
verified the detector`s functionality (confirming that the battery is in good condition and the electronic
circuits are in proper condition).

DTTU-Tb and DTTU-Tv voltage detectors must be used in dry weather conditions.

The DTTU-Tb detector for trolleybus includes two insulating sticks (which include detection
components) which allows the detection of voltage presence on the two power contact lines of DTTU-Tb
trolleybuses. This type of detector can also be used in switch boxes (power injection points) and in
power distribution stations.
The DTTU-Tv detector for tramway includes an insulating stick (which includes the detection
components) which is connected, by means of an 8-meter insulated earthing cable, to an alligator clip
which can be attached to the rolling track (rail).
The checking of voltage can be performed from remote, using an appropriate insulating stick + an
appropriate adaptor (e.g. telescopic stick PTU-AS-400-4c + adaptor AC-DTTU or modulated stick
PMU 400-3 B/ba + adaptor AB-DTTU).

Voltage detectors - DETECT type - for MV and HV power installations


SR EN 61243-1+A1:2010
Code: DETECT 3-10 kV / DETETC 6-20 kV / DETECT 10-36 kV / DETECT 36-110 kV
The new DETECT series of voltage detectors with multi-sensor and microprocessor technology is designed for checking the presence/absence
of voltage by direct contact with conductive elements of indoor and outdoor medium and high voltage installations, in dry weather or wet
weather conditions. This new series of MV detectors ensures precise indications in conflicting electric field areas. Voltage detectors are
capacitive type according to SR EN 61243-1:2006 + A1:2010.
The voltage detectors are manufactured in four constructive versions for four different voltage ranges: 3-10 kV, 6-20 kV, 10-36 kV and 36-110 kV.

Voltage detectors – DETECT type – have housings made of red transparent polycarbonate, a material with excellent mechanical and dielectric
properties. On the lower part, the housing is provided with an “universal’’ coupling system. In order to be used with the telescopic insulating sticks
provided with ‘’hexagon 12’’ socket coupling system, the voltage detector is supplied along with an hexagonal adapter.

Optical indicators (12 red LEDs, 1 green LED, 3 orange LEDs) as well as the acoustic signalling of the buzzer provide an extremely perceptible
signalling in strong light and noisy environments. In order to ensure the best visibility of optical indicators, extremely bright red flashing LEDs are
arranged on the control panel (4 LEDs) and laterally, diametrically opposed, in the middle part of the housing (2×4 LEDs). This positioning of
red LEDs allows the observing the optical signalling both by the operator and another person standing sideways.

The control panel contains:


=test button for checking the electronic circuit;
=acoustic signalling buzzer;
=four red LEDs for checking the presence/absence of voltage by direct contact with conductive elements of indoor and outdoor MV installations
=three orange LEDs to indicate an malfunction of electronic circuits noticed during the checking or the battery discharge warning;
=one high luminosity green LED.

The DETECT type voltage detectors are calibrated on real voltage in our High Voltage Laboratory, by remote control and they are in a permanent
“stand-by” state.

Prior and after each use, the voltage detectors DETECT type must be functionally tested by pressing
the test button, as this check includes the test of the electronic circuits and the appropriate charging
NEW
level of the battery. The “ready for operation” period of detector is signaled by the green LED, starting
for two minutes. During this period of time an automatic self-checking is performed.
After the performing of the operational test, the voltage detector fixed on the appropriate insulating
2019
stick is brought closer to the conductor to be checked until the detector’s electrode gets in contact
with checked conductor. If the conductor is live, the detector will indicate the presence of voltage by
red flashing lights and acoustic intermittent signalling.

For store and transport, the voltage detectors DETECT type are packed in an shock protective
casing.

MOBILE EARTHING AND SHORT-CIRCUITING DEVICES
OVERVIEW

Mobile earthing and short-circuiting devices (currently referred to as „short-circuiting devices”) represent protective
equipment used for temporary earthing and short-circuiting of conductors of a power installation.
The use of short-circuiting devices represents the main preventive protection measure for professionals against an accidental
commissioning or possible voltage occurance during maintenance operations in the working area.

The installation of short-circuiting devices in installations must be performed by professional operators, in the following sequence of operations:
a) Earthing of the short-circuiting device by the fastening of the earthing clamp (CLP) or of the crimped lug of the earthing cable to the artificial / natural
earth grounding of the power installation or to the mobile earthing rod, previously grounded;
b) Checking the absence of voltage on each conductor to be earthed / short-circuited, using a voltage detector;
c) Installation of the phase clamps (CLF) of the short-circuiting device, which allow a good connection between the phase conductor and the earth.

Depending on the type of the short-circuiting device and the voltage of the power installation where the short-circuiting device is applied, the
installation of the phase clamps on the conductors must be performed using insulating sticks / handles specially designed for this operation.

Short-circuiting devices are made in accordance with the provisions of SR EN 61230 standard, in various constructive configurations: single-phase,
three-phase or poly-phase and can be installed both in indoor and outdoor power installations. Short-circuiting and earthing cables will be
connected in various configurations, according to the needs.

trifurcation sequential connection to the earthing sequential

The short-circuiting and earthing cables of the short-circuiting device are manufactured from highly flexible multi-core copper wire, class VI according
to SR EN 60228, protected with a transparent insulating layer, directly extruded on the multi-core wire, according to SR EN 6113.

Phase clamps (CLF) and earthing clamps (CLP) are designed and manufactured in a wide range of constructive shapes so that they can be applied
on the various shapes of conductors of the low, medium and high voltage installations and to provide the mechanical strength required for the
successful handling of an incident determined by the accidental occurrence of voltage in the power installation. Even if it may seem less important, the
correct selection of phase and earthing clamps assures improved ergonomic conditions and, at the same time, complete electrical safety.

Phase and earthing clamps are fastened on the installation conducts or on the earth bars by various methods:

=Screw fastening (where the conductor is firmly fastened between the clamp body and the mobile jaw driven by a screw, sometimes after a pre-
fastening of the clamp on the conductor). The fastening torque of the clamp on the conductor is ensured by the manual clamping torque of the driving
screw.

=Elastic fastening (where the conductor is clamped between the clamp body and the mobile jaw driven by a spring or by elastic systems). In such
conditions, the fastening force of the clamp on the conductor is assured by the spring's characteristics.

=Fastening by shape and weight (self-locking). The fastening force of the clamp on the conductor is assured upon the weight of the phase clamp -
earthing conductor assembly. In case of phase clamps or earthing clamps with fastening screw, these can be provided with various terminal ends in
order to allow the connection of the clamp to other devices or manual handling.

MOBILE EARTHING AND SHORT-CIRCUITING DEVICES
OVERVIEW

The screw fastening phase clamp is provided mainly with “RO bayonet” terminal ends, which can be easily connected to and disconnected from
the “RO bayonet” coupling systems of insulating sticks.

The earthing clamps - given that they are applied manually on the earthing bar or other similar items - are usually provided with screw with sliding
“cross rod”.
Other optional shapes of the screw terminal ends can be provided, such as: “eye” (for installation with shotgun hot-stick), “DIN bayonet” (a system
similar to “RO bayonet” but with different dimensions), “hexagon 12” (in order to be operated with an insulating stick provided with a hexagonal
coupling system), “insulated handle” (for manual operation).

ROD”

The screw fastening phase clamps can be “classic” or “automatic”. The "classic" screw clamps have a simple drive screw that provides the
movement of the mobile jaw and the fastening of the clamp on the conductor.
The “automatic” screw clamps include a system of levers and springs allows the automated movement of the mobile jaw when the clamp get in
contact with the installation's conductor, a movement that provides the pre-fastening of the clamp on the conductor. Subsequently to that stage, the
clamp must be firmly tightened on the conductor, acting the screw and locking of the mobile jaw's position.

Elastic fastening or self-locking clamps can be classified in the category of “automatic” clamps, once the clamp is connected/pushed on the
conductor, and the conductor remains fastened between the mobile jaw and the body of the clamp.

Depending on the type of the power installation and the shape of conductors / bus bars, phase clamps are designed - as shape and size - to
allow their quick and safe application on:
- Bare conductors of low / medium / high voltage overhead lines,
- Bus bars or parts with rectangular section ,
- Cylindrical bars or parts with round section ,
- Spherical pieces (Ball studs) of various dimensions,
- Conductors of various forms (universal clamps),
- Terminal parts of various forms / destinations.

The earthing clamps (CLP) perform the direct connection of short-circuiting devices to natural / artificial earth grounding of the power installation or
to the mobile earthing rod. The earthing clamps are manufactured in various shapes and dimensions depending on the value of the rated short-circuit
current to be provided by the installation of the short-circuiting device.
The earthing clamps are installed directly by hand on the earthing element.

They can be “classic” or they can be provided with “scraping jaw”. By their installation and fastening, earthing clamps with scraping jaw remove the
layers of oxides, impurities and protective paint, assuring appropriate contact resistance.

Also, the category of earthing clamps includes the special clamps applicable on railway tracks.

Short-circuiting devices can be packed to store and transport in:


- Waterproof fabric bags of various sizes;
- Plastic cases;

PHASE CLAMPS

PHASE CLAMPS FOR RECTANGULAR SECTION CONDUCTORS: FLAT BARS, PACKETS OF BARS
OR FLAT PROFILES OF VARIOUS THICKNESSES

The classic phase clamp for rectangular section conductors (C) is a screw-fastening clamp allowing the tightening of conductor between the
clamp’s body and its mobile jaw. The tightening force is provided by the clamping torque of the clamp’s driving screw. Both the clamp body and the jaw
are aluminium alloy die cast items. The driving screw has a ‘’RO bayonet’’ end which allows easy coupling and detachment of the clamp from the
‘’RO bayonet’’ coupling systems of insulating sticks. The dismounting of the clamp from the conductor is obtained through mobile jaw’s lowering,
followed by the detachment of the clamp from the conductor.

The automatic phase clamp for rectangular section conductors (CA) is also a screw-operated fastening clamp, the conductor being tightened
between the clamp’s body and its mobile jaw. Additionally, this type of clamp is provided with a system of levers and springs that allows the automatic
closing of the clamp’s jaw upon the contact of levers with the conductor (pre-fastening of the clamp on the conductor). Subsequently to this phase,
which provides much easier handling the clamp, the fixing of the clamp must be completed through the tightening of the driving screw to the proper
torque specification. Similar to the classic clamp, the automatic clamp includes two aluminium alloy cast items and a driving screw provided with a
“RO bayonet’’ end. The automatic phase clamps for rectangular section conductors are recommended to be fixed on rectangular section conductors
in vertical or slanting position.
The dismounting of the clamp from the conductor is similar to the one used by the classic clamp, more exactly the screw is unscrewed , the jaw is
lowered until there is sufficient space to detach the clamp from the flat bar.

PHASE CLAMPS FOR ROUND SECTION CONDUCTORS: MULTI-CORE FLEXIBLE CONDUCTORS,


RIGID BARS, T-TYPE FIXED POINTS
The classic reduced phase clamp for round section conductors (Cr) has a profile which facilitate its hanging on conductor horizontally positioned
or slightly inclined towards the ground. The reduced classic clamp is a clamp with screw fastening, where the conductor is firmly fastened between the
clamp’s body and the mobile jaw driven by screw.
The tightening force is provided by the clamping torque of the clamp’s driving screw. Both the clamp body and the mobile jaw are aluminium alloy die
cast items. The driving screw has a ‘’RO bayonet’’ end which allows easy coupling and detachment of the clamp from the ‘’RO bayonet’’ coupling
systems of insulating sticks.
In order to reduce the operator’s effort, the tightening of the driving screw is relieved by the presence of a compression spring which allow an easy
movement of the mobile jaw.
The clamp is detached from the conductor by the simple opening of the clamp (by unscrewing the driving screw, the mobile jaw is lowered), followed
by the lifting of the clamp from the conductor.

The automatic phase clamp for round section conductors (CA) is also a screw-operated fastening clamp, the conductor being tightened between
the clamp’s body and its mobile jaw. Additionally, this type of clamp is provided with a system of levers and springs that allows the automatic closing of

LIGHTWEIGHT UNIVERSAL CLASSIC PHASE CLAMPS,


FOR CONDUCTORS OF VARIOUS SHAPES

Lightweight Universal Classic Phase Clamps (CCRU and CCNU type) can be applied on a wide variety of conductor bars of rectangular or
cylindrical section and on spherical pieces (Ball studs) of 20 / 25 mm diameter.
There are two clamp sizes: the Lightweight Universal Classic Reduced Clamp (CCRU) and Lightweight Universal Classic Normal Clamp
(CCNU). The clamps are applied on the conductor by attaching / hanging on the conductor bar / piece.
Both are screw-fastening clamps, allowing the tightening of conductor bar or piece between the clamp’s body and the mobile jaw. The tightening force
is provided by the clamping torque of the clamp’s driving screw. Both the clamp body and the jaw are aluminium alloy die cast items. The clamp’s
driving screw has usually a “RO bayonet” end, but other ends are available: “hexagon 12”, “DIN bayonet”, insulated handle or sliding cross
rod. Having small dimensions and lightweight construction, these clamps are recommended for use in low voltage power installations and in other
power installations where the spaces between the conductor bars are extremely small or where the application of the clamp is made from a small
distance.
The dismounting of the clamp from the conductor is similar for all types of screw-fastening clamps, more exactly the driving screw is unscrewed, the
mobile jaw is lowered until there is sufficient space to detach the clamp from the conductor bar / piece.

UNIVERSAL PHASE CLAMPS FOR CONDUCTORS OF VARIOUS SHAPES

The Universal Classic Phase Clamp (CCU) is a screw-fastening clamp, which can be applied on a wide range of rectangular or cylindrical section
conductor bars, “T” fixed points and on spherical pieces (Ball studs) with 30 mm diameters.

It is a robust clamp, with a body made of extruded aluminium profile and excellent shock resistance. The clamp driving screw is provided with a “RO
bayonet” end, a termination which allows its easy coupling and uncoupling of the clamp from the “RO bayonet” coupling systems of insulating
sticks. The clamp’s body has a slanting profile which facilitates its hanging on conductor horizontally positioned or slightly inclined towards the
ground.
The construction and shape of CCU clamp is similar to the Classic Reduced Phase Clamp (Cr) but it also provides the possibility of slanting
application, by side attachment, on flat conductor bars vertically positioned, as well as the possibility to be applied with spherical pieces (Ball studs).

The clamp is detached from the conductor by the simple opening of the clamp (by unscrewing the driving screw, the mobile jaw is lowered), followed
by the lifting of the clamp from the conductor.

The Universal Automatic Phase Clamp (CAU) is the automatic version of the CCU clamp, as the shape, dimensions and construction of the main
components of the clamp (body, jaw and screw) are similar. Like CCU clamp, the CAU clamp has a large opening which allows its application on a
wide range of rectangular or cylindrical section conductors, ‘’T’’ fixed points and spherical pieces (ball studs) 30 mm diameter. The driving screw of the
clamp is provided with a ‘’RO bayonet’’ end.

Unlike the classic CCU clamp, the CAU clamp is provided with a system of levers and springs that allows the automatic closing of the clamp’s jaw upon
the contact of levers with the conductor (pre-fastening of the clamp on the conductor). Subsequently to this phase, which provides much easier
handling of the clamp, the fixing of the clamp must be completed through the tightening of the driving screw to the proper torque specification.

The dismounting of the clamp from the conductor is similar for all types of screw-fastening clamps, more exactly the driving screw is unscrewed, the
mobile jaw is lowered until there is sufficient space to detach the clamp from the conductor bar / piece.

The Universal Automatic Rapid Phase Clamp (CARU) represents an improved version of the automatic CAU clamp, having a similar shape, a
similar construction and similarly wide applicability. Additionally, the automatic CARU clamp provides – in the application stage – besides the pre-
attachment of the clamp upon the contact with the conductor, also an extremely quick fastening of the clamp on the conductor.
Similarly, the dismounting of the CARU clamp is a quick procedure, in most situations a single complete rotation of the clamp’s driving screw is
enough to allow the detachment of the clamp from the conductor.

The Classic Reduced Clamp for contact wire of the railways power installation (CrTf) is a screw-fastening clamp, similar with the Classic
Reduced Phase Clamp (Cr), having a similar shape and construction. In order to be used in the railways power installations, the CrTf clamp has a
mobile jaw driving by a screw, which provides an appropriate tightening of the clamp on the special profile of the contact wire. This clamp is provided
with a discharge electrode for remaining or induced electric charges which frequently appear in this type of installations. The driving screw has a ‘’RO
bayonet’’ end which allows easy coupling and detachment of the clamp from the ‘’RO bayonet’’ coupling systems of insulating sticks.

The Special Clamp for the Third Rail of the subway power system has a copper-aluminium cast body and it is provided with a driving screw with an
eye type end to allow the handling of the clamp with the insulating stick provided with a hook type adapter. The clamp body is provided with a hole that
allows its placement or detachment of the clamp form the third rail using same devices (insulating stick + hook–type adapter).

PHASE CLAMPS FOR BARE CONDUCTORS OF OVERHEAD LINES

Phase clamps for bare conductors of overhead lines are manufactured in multiple constructive versions adapted to work conditions.
Each type of clamp has a simple design, lightweight and easy to apply on conductors even its application is done from the ground or from height.

In order to allow easy mounting and dismounting, phase clamps for overhead lines are clamps with elastic tightening or by means of shape and
weight (self-locking), avoiding the screw tightening completely, which would require longer mounting / dismounting time and which creates
difficulties in the re-connection of the stick to the clamp for the dismounting operation. If the phase clamps must be handled using a detachable
insulating stick, the clamps are provided with simple and highly effective coupling systems to provide automatic disconnection of the clamp from the
stick once applied on the overhead line conductor and dismounting rings to allow the hanging followed by safe detachment of the clamp from the
conductor in the dismounting phase.

Phase clamps for bare conductors of overhead lines have their bodies and jaws made of aluminium alloy cast items. Some of them are
provided with springs of various sizes in order to provide tightening forces adapted to short-circuiting currents which must be assured.

EARTHING CLAMPS OF CLASSIC CONSTRUCTION

Earthing clamps (CLPR-16 and CLPN-30) currently used as components of short-circuiting devices are manufactured in two dimensional versions
depending on the value of the rated short-circuit current that must be ensured using a short-circuiting device and the size of the earthed element
where they will be mounted.
The clamps perform the earthing of the short-circuiting devices, by their application and fixing on metallic element known as part of or connected to the
earthing installation of an enclosure or at the ground plate of an outdoor installation or on the mobile earthing rods of the short-circuiting devices.
The earthing clamps must be applied on clean surfaces, without any traces of paint or oxides. The body and the mobile jaw of earthing clamps are
copper-aluminium alloy die cast items.
The tightening system, manually operated, consists of the driving screw (made of steel, protected against corrosion by zinc coating) and the mobile
jaw.

Application: from the ground, by the successive lifting of each clamp, hanging of the automatic self-
locking clamp (CAA) on the conductor, followed by the pulling down of the clamp, automatically
detached from the mounting adapter.

Considering the weight of the phase clamp, connected to the earthing conductor and the positioning of
the overhead conductors at approx. 9 m from the ground, the application of clamps with the 9 m
multipurpose telescopic insulating stick type PTU-AS-400-6-c is difficult to be performed in bad weather
conditions.
In order to facilitate the application of clamps on overhead conductors, it is recommended to use the
pulley system for the lifting of the short-circuiting clamps from the ground (see page 51).

EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES FOR WORKING AT HEIGHT
OVERVIEW

Equipment for working at height allows the access of workers in work areas located in high places, both in indoor and outdoor areas. The
main equipment used for this purpose are ladders, platforms and scaffolds.

Ladders are manufactured in various constructive versions::


4modular
4extensible
4multipurpose (transformable)

Modular ladders consist of multiple connectable sections, made of aluminum profiles, which can be assembled in vertical position on the poles of
electrical networks.

Extensible ladders consist of 2 - 4 sections, the ladder being extended by translating an upper section on top of a lower section.
Extensible ladders are provided with self-locking mechanisms that prevent the slippage of sections during use and transportation, with guiding
elements on each section, which allow the extension of the ladder.

Multipurpose ladders are improved versions of extensible ladders, meaning that they allow both the extension of the ladder as extensible ladders
and the use of ladders in other configurations, in the form of a double ladder (type A or λ).

Considering the material of the rails and rungs, ladders can be divided in the following categories:
1. Aluminium ladders, made completely of aluminum profiles (both the rails and the rungs).
2. Ladders with GRP rails (glass reinforced plastic), with rungs and locking systems on the rails made of aluminium.
3. Hybrid ladders, where lower sections are made completely of aluminum profiles and the upper section with rails made of GRP (glass reinforced
plastic) and aluminium rungs.

Extensible and multipurpose ladders given below are manufactured by European manufacturers:

1. KRAUSE (Germany) ladders - multipurpose, made of aluminium.


KRAUSE extensible ladders are manufactured according to EN 131-1.
The ladder rungs are manufactured ribbed profiles to provide enhanced safety during work.
In case of using the ladder as a double ladder (type A or λ), the usage of straps that prevent the opening of the ladder by the accidental slippage of
sections is compulsory.

2. IRMUT (Italy) hybrid ladders - extensible.


IRMUT extensible hybrid ladders have the lower sections manufactured completely from aluminium profiles and the upper section manufactured with
rails made of GRP (glass reinforced plastic) and aluminium rungs. Given the insulating rails, IRMUT ladders are recommended for works in electrical
installations.

KRAUSE and IRMUT ladders can be provided with ROMIND detachable anchoring and fixing devices that
ensure the safe fixing of the ladder on the pole and the protection of the worker against falling from height
during work on the ladder.

The equipment for working at height has the main following functions:
- Allows access of operators at working areas at height (ladders, platforms, scaffolds);
- Ensures operator's safety during ascent/descent to/from works at height (hooks, anchoring supports and devices);
- Protects operators from falling from height (safety harnesses, lanyards, carabiners, etc.);
- Assures fall arrest and shock absorption during a fall (fall arresters, energy absorbers).

When working at a height (2 m from the ground or a reference base)* or when there is a risk of falling, workers must be provided with personal fall
protective equipment.
Lack of proper equipment, misinterpretation of the importance of wearing the equipment, the use of inappropriate or worn-out equipment, incorrect
use of equipment are also causes of accidental fall from a height.

* reference base - represents a place where integrated protection measures have been taken and where there is no danger of falling.

Aluminium multipurpose KRAUSE ladder - Tribilo type - 3 sections


SR EN 131
Code: see table
Multipurpose KRAUSE ladders, Tribilo type with 3 sections can be configured depending on the work height and configuration of the work area
and can be used in the following versions:
4leaned, in retracted version
4leaned, in extended version
4as double ladder - type λ

At the end of the base section, ladders have a stabilizer that provides a wider standing surface. The stabilizer is provided with anti-slip covers for better
adherence to smooth surfaces and to avoid the involuntary slip of the ladder.

In order to be used for works on poles, Krause ladders can be provided (on demand) with ROMIND detachable anchoring and fixing devices that
allow the fixing of the ladder to the pole to prevent tilting and fall protection of the worker.

Detachable anchoring and fixing device, pliers type, for KRAUSE ladders
SR EN 795
Code: P 2416
The detachable anchoring and fixing device, pliers type, provided with fall arrester device, is
intended for the anchoring and fixing of KRAUSE multipurpose ladders on poles of various cross-
sections: on circular poles with diameters between 150 ÷ 450 mm and on poles with rectangular 12
cross-section with sides of maximum 450 x 335 mm. 1

This device prevents the tilting or slipping of the ladder and can be used as the protection against
falling from height of a worker working on the ladder, by using a sliding fall arrester on a flexible rope.

By handling from the ground the anchoring device`s plier, the ladder can be leaned, anchored and
fixed on the poles of power lines, provided with under-crossing of cables belonging to other utilities
(TV cable, optical fiber, etc.).

The detachable anchoring and fixing device for KRAUSE aluminium ladders consists of the following
elements: 2
1. Anchoring and fixing system, pliers type
2. Flexible rope with sliding fall arrester and energy absorber
3. Tensioning and locking system of the flexible rope

The anchoring and fixing system can be mounted / dismounted at the upper extremity of the ladder
(top section) and fastened using its own locking system on the first rung of the ladder.

The flexible rope with fall arrester and energy absorber is attached through the carabiner at the
actuating cord of the pliers.

The tensioning and locking system includes an adjustable strap, a carabiner and a locking device.
The system is intended to maintain the flexible rope tensioned in order to avoid the accidental
opening of the pliers.
