The clamps in the transmission and transformation lines are mainly used to fix power fittings such as conductors, lightning arresters, ground wires, and various insulators to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the transmission lines. Its main functions include:
Fixed support: fix the conductors and other fittings to keep them in the correct position on the conductors.
Transfer load: bear various forces generated in the conductors, such as tension, bending force, and lateral pressure, and transfer them to the tower.
Insulation support: provide support for insulators to ensure the insulation performance of insulators.
According to different functions and application scenarios, clamps can be classified into the following categories:
Fixed clamps: such as spacer clamps, conductor clamps, etc., are mainly used to fix conductors and insulators.
Tension transfer clamps: such as tension transfer bows, suspension wire clamps, etc., are used to transfer tension in the conductors.
Suspension wire clamps: used to adjust and fix the hanging position of the conductor on the tower.
Connection clamps: such as connectors, transition pieces, etc., used for connection between different fittings.
