Crossarms: The Unsung Heroes of Overhead Power Line Infrastructure

Crossarm is a horizontal structural element mounted on a utility pole or transmission tower. They hold and support the wires (conductors) that carry electricity from one location to another.

Stability

It is used with the immobility clamp to be stable. Crossarm securely hold wires in place, preventing them from coming loose and bumping into each other or touching poles.

Load distribution

They help distribute the weight of the conductor evenly across the electrodes, reducing stress on any single point.

Store excess cables

Crossarms creates space between conductors, reducing the risk of short circuits and improving safety. This feature is similar to the remaining cable rack and splice box. And LV yoke plate, LF yoke plate and Strain Clamp NX are used together.

Installation

When installing electric power lines, the installation process of crossarms is critical. Technicians need to install each crossarm precisely according to the specific route plan to ensure the tension and height of the cables. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential, especially after severe weather, like typhoon, heavy rain and high temperature. Timely treatment of damage to crossarms can effectively avoid problem.
