Overhead Power Line Connectors

These are used to connect different components of the overhead line including insulators, conductors and other combinations of conductive hardware. In doing so, these fittings provide a means for electrical flow to pass through components, enabling the power transmission system to function correctly and safely.

• How It Works: Connection fittings - such as eye bolts, connectors, splices, etc. They are constructed with materials suitable for high currents and environmental stress, such as aluminum with copper or in this case galvanized steel.

Advantages:

1. Good Electrical Current Transport: These fittings are of minimal resistance to current flow, and this prevents voltage drop over extended power transmission.

2. Durability: Built to withstand all extremes of weather — heat, cold, rain and wind.

3. Easy to Install: Connecting fittings are generally easy to fit, minimizing downtime for maintenance or installation.

4. Best Use: Connection joints facilitate the connection of conductors to insulators and separate sections of transmission line. These can be seen in overhead power line types and underground power transmission types.
