Jameson PRI-12 Pruner Rope Insulator

The Pruner Rope Insulator is a crucial piece of equipment designed to enhance safety when working near energized lines. It attaches to the pruner rope and is engineered to break the electrical current should the rope come into contact with the energized lines above the insulator.

Each Pruner Rope Insulator is individually tested for dielectric strength, adhering to the strict standards set forth in ASTEM F711, as referenced in OSHA paragraph 1910.269(j)(1)(i). The testing involves subjecting the insulator to a voltage of 100kV per foot for a duration of 5 minutes.

When using the Pruner Rope Insulator, it is essential to follow your company's specific procedures for splicing it into the pruner rope. Additionally, it is recommended to consult the ANSI Z133 guidelines for guidance on the safe use of equipment near energized conductors.

The dielectric strength testing, as mentioned earlier, is a crucial step in ensuring the Pruner Rope Insulator's effectiveness in breaking the electrical current, should the need arise. This testing is performed on each individual insulator, providing a high level of confidence in the product's reliability.

In summary, the Pruner Rope Insulator is a vital safety component that helps protect workers from the risks associated with working near energized lines. Its ability to break the electrical current, coupled with the stringent testing it undergoes, makes it an essential tool for any organization involved in pruning or maintenance activities near live electrical infrastructure.
