Electrical/Mechanical Shunts

April 1, 2022
A unique combination of saddle and Frusto-Conical keepers provide the most cost-efficient, performance-effective, permanent upgrade solution for extending the life of your critical conductor connections.

Classic Connectors USA introduces its new line of permanent, full-tension, transmission-class ClampStar-engineered, electrical/mechanical shunts, with built-in corona protection up through 800-kV. A unique combination of both saddle (constant electrical interface utilizing Belleville washers while mechanically maintaining conductor shape) and Frusto-Conical (68,000 lbs. of penetrating force) keepers provide the most cost-efficient, performance-effective, permanent upgrade solution for extending the life of your critical conductor connections.

This dual-keeper design results in tensile performance at or above 95% of the RBS (full-tension) on conductor diameters from 0.814-in. (20.67 mm) to 1.912-in. (48.56 mm). The complete line of ClampStar-engineered, electrical/mechanical shunts are available for the following corrective applications: midspan splice, dead-ends, conductor strand repair and strand breakage at suspension clamps on both distribution and transmission systems, covering conductor ranges from #6 thru 2515 kcmil (ACSR) and 2750 (AAC). Classic Connectors also offers a complete line of shunts and repair units for both overhead shield wire and optical ground wire applications in both insulated and non-insulated versions. Prevent unplanned outages and wildfires resulting from downed lines while improving the safety of the general public with ClampStar.
