The de-icer actuated by cartridge(DAC) can be used for emergency work on... transmission lines. The DAC is a portable device operated by remote control. It consists of a cylinder-and-piston system that can be suspended from a conductor or ground wire and fired by means of an electronic trigger. Installation from the ground is facilitated by the use of a line thrower. When the cartridge explodes, it generates a mechanical impulse that propagates along the span, breaking the ice instantaneously. 1, record 1, English, - de%2Dicer%20actuated%20by%20cartridge
