ClampStar® is an Engineered Electrical and Mechanical Shunt also known as a Connector Corrector that is intended to correct and reinforce the deteriorated electrical and mechanical performance of hot-running, aged or degraded splices and other connectors, clamps and fittings on overhead transmission and distribution conductors. A popular use of ClampStar® is to increase the performance rating of existing splices and other connectors, clamps and fittings for the purpose of increasing line ampacity that may be presently limited by such devices. ClampStar®, which is typically, installed in less than 10 minutes helps meet FERC’s maximum conductor operating temperature requirements without costly replacement, repair or expensive downtime. Several of our customers have saved several million dollars uprating their lines with ClampStar, and have achieved 30 to 50 year life extensions of their existing infrastructure!
ClampStar® eliminates risk and prevents catastrophic connector failures before they happen, and are installed in just minutes. ClampStar® is the industry’s only PERMANENT solution for protecting overhead splices and connectors.
ClampStars are currently available for: Splices, deadends, suspension clamps, conductor damage and overhead shield wire. For the following conductor sizes: #6 AWG – 2515 kcmil.
