Safety is paramount on any electrical project, but the risks are significantly elevated when working on 25kV systems. The following precautions are essential:

• Positive Isolation and Earthing: Before any work begins, the line must be de-energized, and a "Permit to Work" must be issued. The section of the line must be properly earthed on both sides of the work area to eliminate any risk of induced voltage.

• Clearance and Approach Distances: Due to the high voltage, a significant minimum approach distance must be maintained from any live conductors. Our tools are designed to facilitate work from a safe distance, but strict adherence to safety protocols is non-negotiable.

• Specialized Training and Equipment: Only certified and trained personnel should work on these systems. All tools, from voltage detectors to personal protective equipment (PPE), must be specifically rated for 25kV.

Our commitment to safety is reflected in the quality of our equipment, which is built to the highest professional standards to protect workers in these demanding environments.

275kV overhead line is a vital part of the extra-high voltage (EHV) transmission network. Its primary purpose is to efficiently transport large blocks of power from major power generation sites (like power plants or wind farms) to regional substations. By operating at such a high voltage, power can be transmitted over hundreds of kilometers with minimal energy loss. This is the "superhighway" of the electrical grid, connecting the generation network to the distribution network that serves our cities and towns.

The construction of a 275kV line is a major engineering effort that requires robust and highly specialized equipment to handle the scale and complexity of the project.

• Heavy-Duty Stringing Equipment: The immense tension and weight of high-voltage conductors require our most powerful hydraulic puller and tensioner machines. For 275kV lines, which often use bundled conductors (multiple wires per phase), specialized pullers and tensioners are needed to string multiple conductors simultaneously while maintaining precise spacing and tension.

• Insulated Stringing Blocks: To prevent damage to the conductor and ensure safe installation, we provide specialized stringing blocks with larger sheaves and insulating materials that can handle the weight and tension of bundled conductors.

• Heavy-Duty Tools and Accessories: From large-capacity come along clamps and conductor grips to robust grounding equipment, our products are designed to meet the extreme demands of EHV line construction, guaranteeing both efficiency and safety.

Working on a 275kV line is inherently dangerous and requires an unwavering commitment to safety. The following are non-negotiable safety considerations:

• Minimum Approach Distances (MAD): The high voltage creates a significant arc flash risk. Workers must maintain a strict, legally mandated minimum approach distance from all energized conductors. This distance is much greater than on lower voltage lines.

• Live-Line vs. De-energized Work: Projects are either performed using live-line methods with highly insulated tools and equipment, or the line is completely de-energized and grounded before work begins. Our tools are designed for both scenarios, but the correct procedures must be followed without exception.

• Training and Certification: All personnel must be highly trained, certified, and experienced in EHV work. Using the right tools is only one part of the equation; having the skilled personnel to operate them safely is paramount.

33kV overhead line is a key part of the medium-voltage network. Its primary role is to act as a sub-transmission or a primary distribution line. This means it takes power from a high-voltage transmission substation and delivers it to smaller substations. From there, the voltage is stepped down further for use by homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. This voltage level is particularly effective for:

• Rural Electrification: It's used to distribute power over longer distances to rural communities, farms, and small towns where population density is low.

• Industrial and Commercial Feeders: It provides a direct, reliable power supply to large industrial plants, factories, and commercial centers with high energy demands.

• Connecting Renewable Energy: 33kV lines are often used to connect medium-sized wind farms and solar installations to the main electrical grid.

The choice of conductor for a 33kV line depends on factors like span length, environmental conditions, and required current-carrying capacity. The most common types are:

• ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced): This is the most popular choice for 33kV lines. The steel core provides excellent tensile strength, allowing for longer spans between support structures. The outer aluminum strands offer high conductivity and are lightweight, making installation easier.

• AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor): Used in coastal or corrosive environments where galvanic corrosion between aluminum and steel is a concern. The aluminum alloy provides a good balance of strength and conductivity.

• AAC (All Aluminum Conductor): While it has lower tensile strength than ACSR, AAC is lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion. It is often used for shorter spans and in urban areas where supports are closer together.

Stringing conductors on a 33kV line requires precision and control to ensure the correct tension and sag are achieved. Ningbo Changshi provides a full range of equipment for this task:

• Hydraulic Pullers and Tensioners: Our hydraulic puller and tensioner machines are crucial for controlled stringing. The puller pulls the pilot rope, and the tensioner applies a constant back tension to the conductor, preventing it from touching the ground, damaging the conductor, and ensuring a uniform sag profile.

• Stringing Blocks: We offer a variety of conductor stringing blocks designed to support the conductor as it's pulled along the line. They are available with different sheave materials and hook types to match various conductor sizes and project requirements.

• Tools and Accessories: A complete stringing project also requires a full set of accessories, including swivel joints, conductor grips, and ratchet hoists, all designed to work seamlessly with our main stringing machines.

The required phase-to-phase clearance for a 33kV overhead line is not a single, universal value. It is determined by national and regional electrical codes and standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, or specific national standards like the Indian Electricity Rules). For example, some standards might require a minimum clearance of 431.8 mm (17 inches) for outdoor installations, while others may specify different values based on a variety of factors. These clearances are a safety margin to prevent a flashover caused by electrical surges, lightning, or a physical swing of the conductors.

The clearance value is a result of a complex calculation that considers the Basic Impulse Level (BIL), which is the line's ability to withstand high-voltage surges. Our equipment, designed for precision, helps engineers and construction crews adhere to these strict standards.

Proper clearance must be maintained under all operating conditions, not just in still air. Two of the most significant external factors are:

• Conductor Sag: Conductors expand and sag more in hot weather and contract in cold weather. As the conductor sags, the vertical distance between conductors can decrease. Our hydraulic puller and tensioner machines are crucial here, as they allow for precise control of conductor tension during the stringing process, ensuring the correct sag is set and maintained.

• Wind: Strong winds can cause conductors to swing laterally, a phenomenon known as windage yaw. This side-to-side movement can drastically reduce the horizontal phase-to-phase clearance. The design of the support structures and the tension applied to the conductors must account for these forces.

Our equipment is designed to handle the rigorous demands of these environmental factors, providing the stability and precision needed to guarantee safety and reliability.

Achieving and verifying proper phase-to-phase clearance is a critical part of overhead line construction and maintenance. The right tools are indispensable for this task:

• Stringing Equipment: The most important tool is the hydraulic tensioner. It applies a constant back tension to the conductor during stringing, which prevents the conductor from twisting or kinking and ensures it is installed with the correct tension to achieve the designed sag and clearance.

• Measuring Devices: During and after installation, crews use specialized ultrasonic cable height meters or laser rangefinders to measure the exact clearance between conductors. These tools provide non-contact, safe, and highly accurate measurements from the ground, confirming that the clearances meet the required standards.

• Overhead Accessories: We supply a wide range of accessories, including spacer dampers for bundled conductors and conductor spacers, which are used to physically maintain the distance between conductors in a span, particularly in areas prone to high winds.

A 3-phase overhead line is an electrical system that uses three alternating currents of the same frequency, but each current is out of phase with the others by 120 degrees. This staggered timing ensures that power delivery is constant and uniform, unlike a single-phase system where power fluctuates.

The primary reason for using a 3-phase system is its superior efficiency. It can transmit significantly more power with less conductor material than an equivalent single-phase system, making it the most economical choice for long-distance transmission and heavy-duty applications.

A typical 3-phase overhead line is a complex system of interconnected components, each serving a vital function:

• Conductors: These are the wires that carry the current for each of the three phases. They are most commonly made from Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR), which provides the necessary strength and conductivity.

• Support Structures: These can be utility poles (wood, steel, or concrete) for distribution lines or large transmission towers for higher voltage lines.

• Insulators: Attached to the support structures, these are made of porcelain or polymer composites. They electrically isolate the live conductors from the earthed poles or towers, preventing current leakage and short circuits.

• Crossarms: These are horizontal beams attached to the support structure that provide physical separation between the three phases, ensuring proper phase-to-phase clearance.
