  • "Wire stringing equipment" refers to the specialized machinery, tools, and accessories used for the efficient and safe installation of various types of conductors and cables for overhead and, in some cases, underground power transmission and distribution lines.

  • Its primary applications include:

    • Overhead Transmission Lines (OHTL): Installing high-voltage (HV), extra-high voltage (EHV), and ultra-high voltage (UHV) conductors, including single, bundled, and OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) cables.

It always involves a synchronized puller and tensioner (or a combined puller-tensioner) working in tandem to keep the conductor or wire elevated off the ground at a controlled, pre-set tension throughout the entire stringing process. This method is critical for protecting expensive conductors, maintaining safety clearances, and achieving precise sag profiles on transmission lines.

  • "Conductor stringing equipment" refers to the specialized machinery and tools used to install electrical conductors (such as ACSR, AAAC, HTLS, OPGW) on overhead transmission and distribution lines. The process involves pulling the conductor from a reel, guiding it over stringing blocks on towers, and finally tensioning it to achieve the correct sag.

  • Tension stringing is the preferred modern method because it:

    • Prevents Conductor Damage: Keeps the conductor elevated off the ground and away from obstacles, preventing scratches, nicks, or crushing that can compromise its electrical and mechanical integrity.

    • Enhances Safety: Maintains safe clearances over roads, railways, existing energized lines, and other infrastructure, significantly reducing risks to personnel and property.

    • Achieves Precise Sag Control: Allows for accurate application of tension to meet specific sag and clearance requirements, crucial for line performance and avoiding overstressing the conductor or structures.

    • Increases Efficiency: Enables faster installation over long spans and challenging terrains compared to traditional methods, leading to reduced project timelines and costs.

  • A complete "conductor stringing equipment" system typically consists of highly synchronized machines working together:

    • Hydraulic Puller: Located at the start of the stringing section, this machine generates the controlled pulling force. It typically pulls a pilot rope (often steel anti-twist wire rope), which is then connected to the conductor. Our pullers offer infinitely variable speed control and can be pre-set for maximum pulling force.

    • Hydraulic Tensioner: Positioned at the other end of the section, the tensioner applies a precise, continuous back tension to the conductor as it's being pulled. This crucial function prevents the conductor from sagging uncontrollably or touching the ground.

    • Conductor Reel Stands (Drum Stands): These robust stands support the large conductor reels, allowing them to rotate freely while often incorporating braking systems to manage payout or add additional back tension.

    • Stringing Blocks (Sheaves): Specialized, large-diameter pulleys with non-abrasive linings mounted on the towers to guide the conductor smoothly and protect its surface during the pull.

    • Pulling Grips & Swivels: Connect the conductor to the pulling rope and prevent torsional stress during stringing.

    • Communication System: Essential for continuous, clear coordination between the puller and tensioner operators, often via two-way radios or interlinked digital systems.

  • These components are designed to work seamlessly, ensuring a controlled, safe, and efficient conductor installation process.

    • Our "conductor stringing equipment" incorporates cutting-edge "smart control systems" and "IoT integration" to revolutionize power line construction:

      • Automated Tension Regulation: The system automatically maintains a constant, pre-set tension by precisely adjusting hydraulic output, minimizing manual intervention and ensuring consistent quality.

      • Real-time Data Monitoring: Operators have instant access to critical parameters like pulling force, tension, speed, distance, engine diagnostics, and hydraulic pressure on intuitive digital displays.

      • IoT Connectivity: Machines can transmit real-time operational data wirelessly to cloud-based platforms. This enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and comprehensive data logging for quality assurance, project optimization, and compliance reporting.

      • Remote Control Capabilities: Allows operators to manage the stringing process from a safer vantage point, improving visibility and coordination, especially in challenging or hazardous environments.

      • Integrated Diagnostics: Self-diagnostic features can identify potential issues early, reducing downtime and simplifying troubleshooting.

    • These advancements lead to superior precision, enhanced safety, reduced operational costs through optimized performance, and invaluable data insights for modern grid development.

  • Our "conductor stringing equipment" is specifically engineered to handle the unique demands of "bundle conductors" and "HTLS conductors":

    • High Rated Capacities: We offer pullers and tensioners with high pulling and tensioning capacities (e.g., up to 4x50 kN or more) to manage the increased weight and tension requirements of multiple sub-conductors in a bundle or the specialized HTLS materials.

    • Multi-Conductor Bullwheels: Our tensioners often feature bullwheels with multiple precisely machined grooves or separate bullwheel sets to accommodate 2, 3, 4, or even more sub-conductors simultaneously, ensuring even tension distribution.

    • Large Bullwheel Diameter: Crucially, the bullwheel diameters are generously sized (e.g., typically 35 times the conductor diameter or more) to prevent excessive bending stress on the large-diameter HTLS cables or the individual sub-conductors in a bundle, thus protecting their integrity.

    • Specialized Linings: The bullwheel grooves are lined with durable, non-abrasive materials (e.g., high-density polyurethane) to prevent surface damage to the advanced materials of HTLS conductors or the outer strands of bundle conductors.

    • Precision Control: The advanced hydraulic and electronic controls provide the fine-tuned speed and tension regulation essential for the delicate handling of these high-performance conductors.

  • These specialized capabilities ensure efficient, safe, and damage-free installation of even the most technologically advanced and complex conductor configurations.
