Load Stopping Tool with automatic counting device Application:

The Load-Stopping Tool is a lightweight equipment, designed for opening

energized knife switches, fuse switches and power fuses. It is ideal for single-
 3

phase and three-phase circuits load interruption operations, in overhead
networks up to 34,5kV and underground networks up to 24,5kV.
Important: The Load-Stopping Tool model provided with automatic
operations counting device counts on the precise registration of the number
of operations performed with it, allowing for the required preventive
maintenances always on-time, based on the precise control of the number of
operations performed with the tool.
Transformers Disconnection - Currents up to 600Amp and 900Amp max.
Line Disconnection - Load sharing (parallel maneuvers) and load
disconnection with currents up to 600Amp and 900Amp max.
The Load-Stopping Tool must not be used for disconnection of non-grounded
"Y" capacitors bank or grounded "Y" capacitors bank on non-grounded
systems, if the max. operational voltage exceeds:
• 18kV - for model no. 2846
• 29kV - for model no. 2847
CAUTION:
NEVER use this tool on any other equipment than: Knife switches, Fuse
switches and Power Fuses.
This tool MUST NEVER be operated under rainy conditions.

Cable Disconnection - Load sharing (parallel or ring switching) and load Operation:
disconnection with rated currents and 900Amp max. current, also on earth
faults. The Load-Stopping Tool must always be attached to a hot stick of min. length
of 1.830mm (2.440mm when working with model no. 2847). The eye hook

IMPORTANT: The Load-Stopping Tool must NEVER be disassembled by any
other technician than our own. The tool is supplied with its original safety
seal which, when violated, voids its warranty.
