FAQ

Precise conductor sag measurement and control are absolutely critical for ensuring required ground clearances, preventing conductor overstress, optimizing current-carrying capacity, and extending the lifespan of the transmission line. Incorrect sag can lead to dangerous situations and reduced efficiency. Tools like precision zoom sag scopes allow for accurate optical measurement from the ground, while tension meters and integrated control systems on pullers/tensioners ensure that the conductor is set to the specified tension, which directly correlates to sag.
The primary methods include: Direct Burial, where cables are laid directly into a trench (requiring trenchers, cable drum trailers, rollers, and backfill compactors); Duct and Conduit Laying, where cables are pulled through pre-installed conduits (requiring duct rodder, cable pullers, cable lubricants, and specialized pulling heads); and Cable Ploughing, an increasingly popular method that buries cables without extensive trenching (requiring cable ploughs, powerful tractors, and precise guidance systems). Ningbo Changshi provides a comprehensive range of equipment for all these methods, enhancing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.

Minimizing friction is crucial for protecting the cable and reducing pulling tension, especially during long or complex runs. Key strategies include: using high-quality, compatible cable lubricants specifically designed for electrical cables; ensuring proper cable rollers are placed at appropriate intervals and bends; using the correct cable pulling grips and swivels to prevent twisting; and employing powerful, controlled cable pullers that maintain constant tension and speed. Our advanced cable rollers and pullers are designed to optimize friction management.

Safety in underground cable laying is paramount due to the hidden hazards. Essential precautions include: Thorough utility locate services (e.g., ground-penetrating radar, cable locators, utility maps) before any excavation; adherence to safe digging practices (e.g., hand digging in proximity to known utilities); proper shoring and trench safety measures; lockout/tagout procedures for any potentially energized cables; and ensuring all personnel are trained in hazard recognition and emergency response for buried electrical assets.

Preventing conductor damage is crucial for maintaining the integrity and longevity of a power line. The key is to use the right equipment. This includes using high-quality stringing blocks with smooth grooves that match the conductor size, selecting hydraulic tensioners with precise, adjustable tension control, and employing anti-twisting ropes to avoid conductor rotation and subsequent damage. Our specialized equipment is engineered to handle conductors with care, minimizing stress and ensuring a flawless finish.

Compact and portable tools are increasingly beneficial, especially in urban or confined spaces. They offer: Enhanced maneuverability in tight areas; reduced logistical complexity and transportation costs; quicker setup and deployment times; lower environmental impact due to smaller footprint; and often, greater ease of operation for smaller crews. Ningbo Changshi offers a range of mini and portable solutions, including compact cable pullers and hand-portable duct rods, designed for flexibility and efficiency.

For laying heavy underground power cables, a combination of robust equipment is required. The core components include a powerful cable pulling winch to pull the cable, a comprehensive system of cable rollers (corner, straight, and manhole rollers) to guide the cable smoothly, and specialized cable grips to securely attach the pulling rope. Our range of underground cable laying equipment is designed for maximum efficiency, minimizing friction and stress on the cable throughout the entire installation process.

Accurate cable length measurement is fundamental to cost control and efficiency. It: Prevents material waste from over-ordering or incorrect cutting; ensures precise allocation of cable for specific runs; facilitates accurate inventory management in warehouses; and minimizes project delays due to material shortages. Our reliable cable and conductor length counting meters provide the precision needed for optimal material utilization, directly impacting project profitability.

Cable rollers are crucial for reducing friction and protecting cables during installation. We offer several types, including straight line rollers for flat sections, corner rollers to guide cables around bends, and triple cable rollers for complex installations. These rollers are engineered to support the cable's weight and ensure a smooth, low-friction path, which is vital for preventing cable jacket damage and reducing the overall pulling force required.

The lifespan of our equipment is maximized through superior engineering and robust material selection. We use high-grade steel, advanced hydraulic components, and precision manufacturing processes. Our rigorous quality control, from raw material inspection to final product testing, ensures that every piece of equipment meets stringent durability standards. Proper maintenance, as outlined in our user manuals, also plays a crucial role in extending the operational life of your investment.

Selecting a cable pulling winch for a long-distance project requires careful consideration of the required pulling force and speed. Our winches are available with a range of pulling capacities and adjustable speeds to match the specific needs of your project. We can help you calculate the necessary force based on the cable weight, length, and the complexity of the route, ensuring you get a winch that is both powerful and reliable for your long-distance underground cable laying.

Absolutely. As a prominent manufacturer and exporter, Ningbo Changshi is committed to comprehensive after-sales support.

A grounding pole, or grounding operating stick, is a critical safety tool used to apply a short circuit grounding wire from a safe distance. Its primary function is to provide an insulated means of connecting the grounding wire to a conductor or busbar that has been de-energized. This ensures that any residual or induced voltage is safely grounded, protecting workers from electric shock. Our insulated grounding poles are manufactured from high-quality, non-conductive materials to provide a reliable and safe tool for this essential task.

Quality and compliance are at the core of Ningbo Changshi. We adhere to stringent international quality management systems, such as ISO 9001. Our equipment is designed and manufactured to meet relevant industry standards and certifications (e.g., CE, local market regulations where applicable). We conduct rigorous testing and inspection at every stage of production, from material procurement to final assembly and performance verification, ensuring that our products are safe, reliable, and meet global benchmarks.
