As the power grid ages, utilities are facing more downed lines due to failing connectors. To prevent outages, many are increasing inspections, using Infrared (IR) technology to detect hotspots that signal potential failures. ClampStar? provides a permanent solution for degraded connectors, boosting grid reliability and public safety. Quick to install in under 10 minutes, ClampStar works on deadends, inline splices, suspension clamps, and damaged conductors without needing mechanical grips or jumper cables. Pre-filled with CC2 inhibitor to prevent corrosion, ClampStar upgrades mechanical and electrical performance, extends component life, and increases line ampacity. By addressing aging infrastructure before failures occur, ClampStar ensures a safer, smarter, and more reliable grid.

ClampStar? - Engineered electrical/mechanical shunt that, permantly improves safety and prevents unplanned outages.
关于我们
In recent years the North American power grid has seen a dramatic increase in overhead connector failures with catastrophic results. Are you aware that splice failures caused the death of a Pennsylvania woman that resulted in a $105M wrongful death lawsuit? CCI was formed to help prevent these types of issues. ClampStar reinforces aging connectors, restoring their full mechanical integrity and escalating their electrical capacity by at least double of what it was when they were new. Our products, identified by the name ClampStar? are purchased by electrical power utilities for application in “transmission” and “distribution” circuits. ClampStar? is an engineered electrical/mechanical shunt that, along with proactive maintenance practices improves safety and prevents unplanned outages. ClampStar is the industry’s only PERMANENT life extension solution for virtually all overhead conductors. Increasing power flows on some of the oldest lower-voltage circuits, especially during emergencies has put significant pressure on a power grid that was built mainly to serve local markets. ClampStar is necessary to help bring the power grid up to a level of acceptable physical soundness and reliability. With ClampStar, splices, deadends and suspension clamps are repaired with NO power interruption; connector replacement is no longer necessary. It easily installs over the existing connector. A unique parameter we assign to all our products is that they must be easily installed on energized lines. We call that “Lineman Friendly” which means no (or very few) loose components, readily handled by “Hot Sticks” and requiring no special tools, jacks or come-alongs. Our unique and innovative products are commonly used to harden the grid by improving system reliability while enhancing public safety.
