Name one instance where you have a hotline clamp connected right to the conductor and not attached to a stirrup,grounding not included...this isnt really hard although its not real easy neither....if your not around it......PM ME if you know the answer....lets see what kind of guesses we get.......Ill post the names of the people that got it right.....as soon as we get some interesting answers.good luck....just to be fair its not a temporary.

have alot of hot line clamps that are attached onto the armor rod,no stirrup needed then.

interesting,good answer....hint its connected to a cooper conductor....Im not saying the one Im referring to is the only time its used like that.

use them all the time to keep rubber guts in place on baggy copper conductors from running to midspan on me.

That too is interesting,never seen them used for that,but its a good idea......must be one hell of a slack span.

Any transformer installation, or tap line feeding less than two transformers we run them straight to the line, we use tap guard on smaller conductors and we don't use stirrups out here, PG&E.

lineman north flordia was right....some arresters.......what I was refering to was the arresters on a three phase dip.....where they connect the hot line clamp between the switch/door and the terminator.

We use stirrups any time there is a live line clamp, for all of our connections unless the primary conductor is copper.
