How to Install the Strain Clamp? And What are the Advantages of Strain Clamps?

-

Strain Clamp refers to the hardware used to fix the wire to withstand the tension of the wire and hang the wire on the strain string or tower. 



 

According to different structures and installation conditions, strain clamps can be roughly divided into two categories. 

The first category: The strain clamp must withstand the full tension of the wire or lightning conductor. And the grip strength of the clamp is not less than 90 of the rated tensile strength of the wire or lightning conductor to be installed, but it is not used as a conductor. This type of clamp can be removed after the wire is installed and used separately. This kind of clamp has bolt-type tension clamp and wedge-type tension clamp. 

The second category: In addition to bearing the full tension of the wire or lightning protection wire, the tension clamp is also used as a conductor. Therefore, once this type of clamp is installed, it cannot be disassembled, which is also called a dead line clamp. Because it is a conductive body, the installation of the wire clamp must be carried out carefully in accordance with the relevant installation rules.

 


Strain clamps are used for corners, splices, and terminal connections. Spiral aluminum clad steel wire has extremely strong tensile strength, no concentrated stress, and protects the optical cable and assists in damping vibration.

 

Advantage:

1. Effectively prevent short-circuit accidents caused by overlapping of small animals such as birds and beasts or foreign objects. 

2. Prevent electrical accidents caused by condensation flashing, dirty flashing, and icicle sticking to snow.

3. Prevent acid rain, salt spray and harmful chemical gases from corroding the transformer inlet and outlet wires.

4. Avoid personal injury and death accidents caused by pedestrians accidentally touching the exposed electrical contacts.

5. The fully enclosed operation of the protective cover and the metering device can prevent criminals from stealing electricity.

6. The buckle structure is simple to install and can be reused.

As you can see, it is not as difficult as you think to start from installing the strain clamp. The appropriate strain clamp is durable, and you don't need to spend a lot of time to maintain it. The last thing you want to do is to maintain some overhead fittings that can't really meet your needs. Good cable accessories will provide a lot of things, and it is also easy to keep running, which will make it a good choice.

We combine our experience in cable operation over the years with the application of solid Bauer edge theory to analyze the causes of insulation breakdown of power cables.  The purpose is to cast a brick to attract jade, and electrical counterparts to find specific measures to prevent cable insulation breakdown , improve the level of safe operation of the cable and extend the service life of the cable. I. Breakdown of Solid Insulation 1. Solid insulation breakdown of the form of insulation material is also known as dielectric. When the voltage applied to the dielectric exceeds a certain critical value, the electric field strength in the dielectric exceeds the level it can withstand. Through the dielectric current increases sharply, the dielectric rupture or decomposition, the complete loss of insulation capacity. This phenomenon is called dielectric breakdown. Different dielectric, the form, and mechanisms of breakdown are different, field dielectric breakdown can generally be divid...

Precautions for OPPC Cables During Transportation and Installation

 For OPPC phase line fiber optic cable conductor, due to the existence of discharge, over the pulley, tightening the line caused by the structure elongation and operation of the temperature rise in the process of expansion elongation and creep elongation generated by plastic deformation, so the fiber residual length requirements are very strict. Fiber optic units should have good mechanical protection to ensure that the fiber is not extruded. To prevent moisture intrusion and affect the service life of the fiber, the fiber should be placed in a closed tube, or take other moisture-proof measures. Then OPPC phase line fiber optic cable wire in the transportation and installation process should pay attention to what issues? 1. The cable tray with fiber optic cable should be rolled in the direction indicated on the side of the plate. Rolling distance should not be too long, and generally should not exceed 20 meters, rolling should pay attention to prevent obstacles to damage the packa...
