Portable Protective Air Gap Tool

Chance® Portable Protective Air Gap Tools (PPAG) have been used for live line work for more than 40 years. PPAGs provide an OSHA and IEEE approved method for controlling transmission overvoltages, allowing for reduced minimum approach distances. The PPAG controls transmission overvoltages by providing a shorter flashover air gap between the PPAG horns.

Specifications:

• OSHA and IEEE approved method
• Simple to install
• Allows for use of shorter and lighter tools
• Visible at the worksite
• Large All-Angle Ground Clamp mounted on
the top end (conductor range 0.258” – 2.88”)
• Two permanent Horn Gaps fixed to the pole
• Collar on bottom horn for ground set
attachment
• Rigid male splice on the bottom end for
attachment of an extension pole
• 1-1/2” dia. x 12’ long Epoxiglas® Pole

ORDERING INFORMATION:

The end user must specify the gap distance based on their specific system parameters.
Refer to IEEE 516 for specifics on how to calculate the gap distance. See Section 4.8.2, Figure 3, and Annex
C-1 for sample calculations
Provide your required gap distance to Hubbell Power Systems, Inc. to have a specific catalog number set up
to meet your needs.
