Barry D.E.W. Insulated Rope Brochure
- Common rope products are often used in Electrical Utility work, but in Live-Line Maintenance common rope can be a hazard.
- While a brand-new rope with no previous use may have some dielectric properties, moisture, dust, dirt, and other contaminants start compromising the rope as soon as it begins use in the field.
- This would be less concerning if the rope could be thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and tested between uses, but that is not possible on open bundles of fibers woven together.
- Internal damage and contaminants are easily hidden from inspection, cleaning cannot get deep between fibers, and moisture is very difficult to thoroughly remove.
- These factors can cause flashovers resulting in a catastrophic failure of the rope, as well as electrical tracking, giving the system voltage a deadly path to ground.
This is why most rope manufacturers insist their products are not insulating. Barry D.E.W. Line® Insulating Rope Tools provide answers for ALL these issues.
Because all Barry D.E.W. Line® products are fixed-length tools with full-length jackets and sealed terminations, moisture cannot penetrate the tools and can be wiped dry from the surface.
- Dirt and contaminants are easily detectable and cleaned away with standard Hotstick cleaning wipes.
- All Barry D.E.W. Line® tools are also Category 4 Arc-Flash Rated, resistant to 40 calories per square centimeter (cal/cm2),* providing excellent resistance to flashover heat.
- And with insulating properties that meet or exceed ASTM F1701 and IEC 62192, these tools can be tested for dielectric effectiveness in the field with the same equipment used for testing CHANCE Hotsticks.
INSULATING TAG LINE
Compact and lightweight fixed-length rope tool with
stainless steel thimbles, sealed terminations, and an
easily cleaned, hydrophobic surface. It’s great for hand
lines, tagging out conductors, general purpose lifting and
pulling, use as a trigger rope, stabilizing loads, and as a
dielectric link.
• Similar dielectric properties as CHANCE Epoxiglas™ Hotsticks
• Sealed sewn termination with stainless steel thimble at each end
• Lightweight
