LIVE WORKING SAFETY REINVENTED

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document details the development and specifications of tools for live line working, produced since 1980. Initially focusing on insulated tools, the company introduced insulating tools in 2006, evolving into hybrid tools by 2019, in compliance with new IEC standards. These tools are designed for both general and specialized electrical work requirements.
Tool Types and Definitions
  • Insulated Hand Tools: Made from conductive materials, fully or partially covered with insulating materials.
  • Hybrid Hand Tools: Made from insulating materials with exposed conductive parts only at the working head, possibly including non-exposed conductive parts for reinforcement.
Properties and Advantages of Hybrid Tools
  • Compliant with IEC 60900 standards for use up to 1,000 V AC and 1,500 V DC.
  • Low and constant current leakage, regardless of dimensions.
  • Lightweight for enhanced ease and safety of use.
  • Increased strength, surpassing the destructive forces of intended installations.
  • RFID compatibility for easy tracking and management.
  • No periodic tests required due to design preventing potential transfer across the tool.
  • No galvanic connection between working and driving heads, ensuring safety even in accidental disconnection.
  • Capability to construct multilateral tools, such as cross wrenches with multiple sockets.
Product Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various hybrid tools, including cross socket wrenches, lineman's pliers, reversible ratchet drives, T-bar drives, extension bars, L-bar drives, socket wrenches, Allen socket wrenches, blocking wrenches, ring spanners, stripping knives, bow saws, hexagonal key wrenches, hammers, and more. Each tool is made from CrV steel with handles made from insulating material, specifically fiberglass reinforced polyamide, adhering to IEC 60900 standards. Tools are designed for specific applications, with details on size, length, and weight provided for each model.
Conclusion
The document emphasizes the company's commitment to innovation and safety in tool manufacturing, offering a range of products that meet stringent international standards while providing flexibility and efficiency for electrical professionals.
Overview
This document provides specifications for a range of insulated tools manufactured by Hubix, designed for electrical work up to 1 kV AC and 1.5 kV DC. All tools comply with the IEC 60900 standard, ensuring safety and reliability in live working conditions.
Specifications
  • Materials: Tools are primarily made from CrV steel, with some components using stainless steel. Insulation is typically double-layered plastisol, with some tools using single-layer polyethylene or fiberglass reinforced polyamide.
  • Insulation: Tools feature either single or double-layer insulation, tested to withstand 10kV for 10 seconds, ensuring compliance with EN 60900 standards.
Product Categories
  • Wire Stripping Pliers: Insulated for up to 1 kV AC/1.5 kV DC, made from CrV steel with double-layer plastisol insulation.
  • Allen Socket Wrenches: Available in short and long versions, sizes range from 11 mm to 19 mm, with varying lengths and weights.
  • Socket Wrenches: Offered in short, long, and special versions, with sizes from 10 mm to 32 mm.
  • Torque Wrench: Insulated for up to 1 kV AC/1.5 kV DC, with a torque range of 5-50 Nm.
  • Nut Drivers and Screwdrivers: Insulated with single-layer polyethylene, available in various sizes and lengths.
  • Spanners: Includes adjustable, open-ended, and ring ratchet spanners, all insulated with double-layer plastisol.
  • Connector Holders: Designed for overhead and general use, insulated with double-layer plastisol.
Key Features
  • All tools are designed to meet the IEC 60900 standard, ensuring they are suitable for live working conditions.
  • Tools are equipped with anti-slip features for enhanced safety and usability.
  • Each tool is tested for electrical insulation to ensure safety during use.

LIVE WORKING SAFETY REINVENTED-2

We have been manufacturing tools for live line working since 1980. We started with Insulated Tools then in 2006 we introduced Insulating Tools which eventually became according to new IEC standard Hybrid Tools in 2019. All three types are constantly available. possessing these technologies (hybrid, insulating, insulated) allows us to be a very flexible supplier, we are able to design both great series of tools for electricians and niche solutions for specific cases

LIVE WORKING SAFETY REINVENTED-5

Hybrid tools advantages best insulation - regardless of their dimensions, hybrid tools are characterized by low and constant current leakage weight reduction - lighter toolsets make operator’s work easier and safer than ever before increased strength - hybrid tools’ resistance exceeds the destructive forces of the installations for which they are intended RFID compatible - reserved space for RFID chip no periodic tests required - hybrid tools’ conductive elements are placed only in the working heads, thus they don’t transfer the potential to the entire tool, making the periodic tests unnecessary...
