Sofamel PATL-MPUB Earthing and Short Circuit Kit

Sofamel PATL-MPUB Earthing and Short Circuit Kit

The main design principal of the Sofamel PATL-MPUB Earthing and Short Circuit Kit is to protect the user from accidental voltage return when he/she is repairing or performing maintenance on overhead electricity lines.

Two MPU clamps are provided and these can clamp onto cylindrical conductors up to 30mm in diameter as well as onto flat bars up to 45mm thick. Practicality is further aided by an MPUP carrier clamp which allows three clamps to be lifted and secured at the same time.

The Sofamel PATL-MPUB Kit contains three lengths of copper wire to complete the short circuit or earth channel. Two of the three cables are 2.5m in length whilst the other is 15m long. Depending on the user’s needs, the cables can have a cross-sectional area of 16mm², 25mm², or 35mm² with maximum currents of 4kA/1s, 6.9kA/1s, and 9kA/1s respectively. Simply select the preferred diameter using the drop down menu above.

A TT-38A milling earthing lathe is included in the kit and the cables and clamps can be applied using the telescopic pole which stretches to 2m long when fully extended. In order to properly earth the circuit, an earth rod spike is also provided. Furthermore a plastic case and carry bag allow the kit to be easily stored and transported.
