LIVE LINE MAINTENANCE PLATFORM

NAFFCO-EGI has been manufacturing hydraulic insulated aerial platforms for many years for lower heights. Now developed the higher range with a foam-filled boom as per IEC 1057 standard (European Standard).

CONCEPT

• Bare hands or potential working involves placing the technician in direct electrical contact with an energized overhead line. The technician will work alongside the lines from the fully insulated platform. The technician works at the same potential (voltage) as the line. (Equipotential condition with the hotline that prevents the flow of current through the operator.)
• Equipment is dielectrically tested at the best world laboratory.

TECHNOLOGY

“Foam Filled” Technology utilized in NAFFCO-EGI insulator booms is unique and integral to the performance of the latest state-of-the-art booms. NAFFCO-EGI Type II foam-filled technology: epoxide-resin reinforced by glass fiber tube filled by high-density polyurethane foam (closed particles). Completely complying with IEC 1057 and succeeded to fulfill all types of tests as per section 3 of IEC 1057 especially:

• Test of penetration for the humidity of the foam-filled boom.
• Mechanical test for fatigue. (All electrical tests are carried out after the fatigue test.)
• IEC 1057 Type Test up to 1,250,000V
