DOTPLUG Breakaway Wiring (PCDS)

Picture
The DOTPLUG breakaway wiring method (PCDS - pole cable distribution system) meets current AASHTO and Passive Safe standards as the electrified pole cable unplugs within a few inches from pole foundation during a knockdown. This design protects fuses by placing them below grade in an underground electrical junction box. Eliminating electrical hazards to the public as well as to emergency responders.  

Conventional Wiring Method

Picture
Conventional wiring methods still used over the majority of roadways across the United States, Canada, and Europe do not meet current AASHTO and Passive Safe standards. Fuses and fuse holders are in harms way during a knockdown and does not provide a safe disconnect. Electrical and fire hazards remain present to the public and emergency responders until power can be disconnected and confirmed.
