Blackburn® Storm-Safe® Service Entrance Breakaway Disconnect System

The Blackburn® Storm-Safe® Service Entrance Breakaway Disconnect System, available from Ruffin & Associates, is designed to improve safety, reduce damage, and speed service restoration during service line failures.

This system allows service conductors to separate safely at the pole, ensuring lines come down de-energized and preventing damage to customer premises and utility equipment. When restoration is required, crews can quickly replace the breakaway link and reconnect the system—no soldering or splicing required—saving time, labor, and cost.

Built for long-term performance, the Storm-Safe system features an internal O-ring to prevent moisture ingress, external Flood-Seal® insulating rockets for environmental sealing, and dual ratings for use with aluminum and copper conductors. The system meets ANSI C119.4-2004 specifications, making it a reliable choice for utility and contractor applications focused on safety, efficiency, and uptime.
