Made of hot-dip galvanised steel wires and aluminium alloy, the preformed tension clamp, also called the terminating helix, has a durability that sets it apart from other goods on the market. The loop is formed by placing the high tensile wires side by side. The purpose of the loop is to securely grip the thimble.
It is a device that holds and fastens conductors to poles or other structural supports. It creates the tension required to hold conductors in place. In the building of overhead lines and electrical distribution systems, these clamps are essential.
They are available in a variety of designs, contingent on the particular use and kind of conductor. Tension clamps guarantee the stability and dependability of overhead line systems by preventing conductor sagging and lowering electrical inefficiencies by maintaining a constant level of tension.
These tension clampsare made of materials with a high strength and are intended to endure large mechanical forces.
Elements Affecting a Preformed Tension Clamp's Dimensions
The specifications of the overhead line system and the particular application are two of the aspects that affect a preformed tension clamp's dimensions. Speak with our engineers to make sure prefabricated tension clamps are appropriate.
1. Conductor Type and Size
Because the diameters and tensile strengths of different conductors vary, clamps must be able to handle these unique properties.
2. Tensile Load Requirements
The required strength and clamp size are determined by the anticipated mechanical load on the conductors, which includes loadings from wind and ice.
3. Environmental Conditions
Variations in temperature, UV radiation exposure, and corrosive conditions are some of the factors that impact the clamp's material and design criteria.
4. Span Length
The stress in the wires and, thus, the clamp's parameters are determined by the spacing between support structures.
5. Voltage Level
Larger or stronger clamps could be needed for high voltage systems to provide proper insulation and mechanical performance.
6. Installation and Maintenance Needs
The clamp's size and design may be affected by factors such as ease of installation and future maintenance requirements.
7. System Stability Requirements
Certain clamp dimensions are required to guarantee minimal sag and preserve the overall stability of the overhead line system.
8. Regulatory and Safety Standards
Adherence to safety laws and industry standards affects the clamp's dimensions and design.
9. Material Properties
The clamp dimensions are influenced by the material selection, such as steel or aluminium, which must endure mechanical stresses and environmental factors.
