overhead distribution feeders
and in outdoor distribution sub-
stations
• Self-contained loadbreak
enables lineman to interrupt load
current with a hookstick
• Can be mounted underhung like
a standard cutout or mounted
directly on a pole used as a dis-
connect between overhead and
underground lines
