Tool operation, maintenance, and repair center
BURNDY tooling installs a wide range
of connectors, is reliable, cost e ective, and precision engineered for durable, long-lasting service, and insures a quality, fully inspectable connection. BURNDY designed and produced the rst self contained hydraulic compression electrical connector installation tool in 1924.
An important element of the BURNDY tooling program is the Tool Center located in Littleton, NH. is center provides advice and information on the operation, maintenance, and repair of BURNDY tools. e repair center is sta ed with specialized technicians who provide the best possible tool repair service, for all BURNDY tools, pumps, and accessories. It is BURNDY’s continuing mission to provide the highest quality and highest value connection systems to all their customers in all areas of the marketplace.

High power fuses
SIBA Fuses new “SSK” Technology reduces short circuit energy. e increased demand of generation and power distribution for all types of transformer applications requires proper protection of transformers. For the increased levels of power used, such as in wind applications, SIBA developed “SSK” fusing with the following criteria: higher interrupting current ratings compared to circuit breakers; limits Arc Energy; fast acting “striker initiated” opening time reduces higher fault-current impact on switchgear; combines low power losses with low minimum breaking currents, providing e ective installation in tight enclosures; integrated temperature limiter, independent of striker pin operation.
SIBA Micro Switch initiates certain functions when temperature reaches 220°C; applications include switch-fuse combination circuits, transformer circuits and load circuits; cost saving, simple mounting; Siba Fuses Patented Design: speci c melting-element system.

Finger-actuation knife disconnects
Phoenix Contact’s newest knife disconnect terminal blocks feature a quick and safe nger-actuation mechanism for test and measurement applications. e UT 4-MTL and UT 6-MTL’s nger levers enable technicians to safely perform circuit- polarity checks and troubleshooting without disrupting service. e MTL
lever does not require a tool to actuate. It extends above and beyond the recessed version found in standard UT 4-MT and
UT 6-MT disconnects. e UT-MTL blocks accommodate colored knife disconnect levers to di erentiate circuits, while conserving space and assisting wire management. is series also helps reduce inventory costs because it accepts CLIPLINE complete accessories and marking products. Phoenix Contact’s patented Reakdyn Principle ensures reliable, maintenance-free screw- clamp connection.
