Boosting safety for bus bar connections

12 November 2015

Available from Martindale Electric is a new range of insulated Drummond G clamps, designed to provide safe, easy connection to bus bars for voltage measurement.

 

The new range of moulded G clamps, which eliminate the need to drill the bus bar, provides installers with a safe and reliable connection, via a standard 4mm socket.

Suitable for connecting power monitoring and measuring equipment, the clamps are colour-coded in black, brown and grey, to match the colour-coding of individual phases in 3 phase systems. All 3 phase colours are also available with a replaceable 0.5A fuse in the clamping screw, providing protection at the source. Other fuse ratings can be specified.

Housed in an insulated casing to enhance safety, the clamps also feature a spring loaded contact pin and locking ring to ensure reliable results throughout extended logging periods.

Featuring a fluted grip design, which enables the clamping screw and the locking ring nut to be tightened by hand while wearing PPE insulated gloves, the need to use tools within the bus bar chamber is therefore eliminated, further boosting safety whilst avoiding unnecessary shutdowns.

The Drummond G Clamps are available in both fused and unfused versions.
