MISSION-CRITICAL PROTECTION
HPS just concluded its 3-part webinar series detailing how Chance® cutouts provide mission-critical protection. Presented by Charles Worthington, Cutout Product Engineer, the presentation covered the three strengths of the Chance® cutouts: technology, experience, and quality.
TECHNOLOGY • Synthetic fusetube liner delivers consistent arc quenching and longer life • Moisture excluded by sealed hardware via polymer overmounding and blind end fitting bolt holes EXPERIENCE • The OB insulator is the only design to employ time- proven durable, tracking-resistant ESP hydrophobic silicon-alloy rubber • Combined technological excellence from 50+ years of Chance cutouts and 30+ years of Ohio Brass insulators. QUALITY • Exceptional mechanical and electrical performance due to hardware crimping technology and chemical bonding technology at interface to polymer watershed • Withstands 250% of ANSI C29.13 for boiling water/ steep wave tests • For corrosive areas, available with stainless-steel hardware and assist spring
LINER AND SHELL
Liner and shell epoxy-resin matrices form a chemical bond as the shell is wound over the uncured liner. This outperforms the mechanical bond of a fusetube with a bone fiber liner due to its high moisture content — illustrated by comparison photos after a thermal cycling test which simulates aging.
