Material: 6061 T6 Machined Aluminum Billet
Test Rating: ASTM F855-15
Grade: 5H & 3H
Capacity: 1/8th to 1” Wire
Our spring-loaded Raptor Overhead Ground Clamp replaces the clumsy duckbill clamps with superior ease and functionality. Working in tandem with your hot stick ratchet the Raptor opens and secures wires from 1/8th to 1” with only 1-2 rotations, significantly expediting installation and reducing repetitive strain by a magnitude of 10X! Unlike competitors attempts at spring loaded clamps, the Raptor is unique in that it can continue to torque beyond 40 ft lbs even as the wire compresses.
To sustain the explosive mechanical force present in a ground fault, we use a 6061 T6 Machined Billet Aluminum body that is vastly superior to standard aluminum castings for protecting your crew.
Billet 6061 T6 has a 37% better tensile strength (290 MPa vs 180 MPa) and 100% better yield strength (240 MPa vs 100MPa) than standard cast aluminum. The elongation at break of 6061 T6 is twice that of standard cast aluminum (20% vs 10%).
