ESC-500 Horseshoe Clip
ESC-500 Horseshoe Clip (Stirrup Clamp) is a heavy-duty, spring-loaded aluminum alloy connector designed for 10kV live working (hot line) on overhead distribution lines. It enables fast, safe branch tapping, grounding, and testing without power shutdown. The horseshoe/stirrup shape ensures stable hanging and easy installation with a hot stick.
