Why we use Tiger Tails power lines
Tiger tails, provide temporary electrical insulation, mechanical protection and visual warning of power lines and conductors. Used by utilities and electrical contractors, these robust units have decades of engineering and development to ensure the highest quality and safety standards.
However, tiger tails power lines only offer a temporary solution and its core purpose is to visually warn people to be careful around power lines.
Although you’re thinking tiger tails power lines are tested and rated at 650V insulation so why is thins the case, by law they cannot be used as a method of insulating cables and can only be used as a visual warning.
