Catalog No. 300-2 TESCO Hot Socket Gap Indicator
The TESCO Hot Socket Gap Indicator is used to determine if a meter socket jaw has become worn-out and unsafe for continued use. The Gap Indicator determines unsafe holding force on meter socket jaws based on laboratory testing. Features: • Easy-to-use design • Determines unsafe holding-force on meter socket jaws based on laboratory testing • Blade spring force was designed to effectively determine a minimum unsafe threshold • Insulated plastic body (Rated 3000 V) • Tin-plated spring steel blade used to withstand daily use/travel/vibration • No maintenance required • Calibrated for five years or 1,000,000 sockets (whichever occurs first) The TESCO Hot Socket Gap Indicator is quick, easy-to-use and has a rugged, non-conductive insulated shell. The mechanical tool engages the jaws of a meter socket and will indicate a gap or significant loss of jaw pre-load. Total estimated time of testing four jaws is less than 30 seconds. Even minor gaps can result in electrical arcing, resulting with a more serious problem, failure, or electrical fire. Note: If feasible, service should be disconnected. Regardless of whether the service has been disconnected or is live, personal protective equipment (PPE) should always be used while operating. Accessory:
