Barry D.E.W. Line® Creepage Extender Sheds are a patent-pending, innovative solution designed to enhance the safety of live-line workers. They can be easily installed or removed from insulating tools without adhesives. Their use may disrupt the streamer propagation path and velocity by increasing the creepage distance.
Made from reliable dielectric materials, these sheds are highly resistant. Their position and quantity can be adapted based on voltage levels, the type and length of the insulating tool, and climatic conditions.
Technical:
2-part system for ease of installation / removal, inspection, cleaning, transport or storage
Non-metallic bolted assembly (requires no heat, glue or adhesives)
