ABSTRACT:
A breaking and insulating clamp for tensioned electrical conductors is disclosed, and which comprises an elongate bar of an electrical insulating material, with the bar mounting separate clamping members at longitudinally spaced apart locations for separately securing an electrical conductor or the like at each location. This permits the conductor to be severed between the clamping members, so that the remaining portions of the severed conductor are isolated and insulated from each other. In the illustrated specific embodiment, the clamping members each include a U-shaped bolt received within mating channels in the bar so as to preclude relative longitudinal movement between the bar and the bolt, and a pair of cooperating plates mounted on the bolt. The plates are designed to be clampingly pressed together so as to securely retain an electrical conductor extending therebetween in the longitudinal direction. To facilitate the engagement of the conductor, the plates may be provided with mating grooves having internal ridges, for receiving and bitingly engaging the conductor.
