Steel & Aluminum Stranded Earthwire Grip for OHTL Construction

Steel & Aluminum Stranded Earthwire Grip: Secure & Versatile Holding for Diverse Ground Wire Construction

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we recognize that ground wires (earthwires or shield wires) come in various material compositions, each requiring a grip that ensures both a firm hold and protection against damage. Our Steel & Aluminum Stranded Earthwire Grip is a specialized, meticulously engineered tool designed to securely clamp onto and hold both steel and aluminous (aluminum) stranded earthwires during the tensioning, sagging, or positioning operations on overhead transmission lines (OHTL). As a prominent China manufacturer and exporter, we offer a comprehensive one-stop supply for a wide array of tools and equipment for power lines, and this versatile earthwire grip exemplifies our unwavering commitment to practical utility, material compatibility, robust design, and reliable performance for achieving optimal line integrity and worker safety.

Earthwires, which provide critical lightning protection and grounding for power lines, can be constructed from high-strength steel or various aluminum alloys, often in stranded configurations for flexibility and conductivity. Each material presents unique gripping challenges. Our Earthwire Grip is specifically designed with jaw profiles and material treatments to provide an unyielding, non-slip hold on these diverse stranded wires, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency during installation and maintenance. It minimizes the risk of wire slippage or structural damage to the earthwire, which is paramount for maintaining the integrity of the line's protection system.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Optimized for Steel & Aluminum Stranded Wires: Features precisely engineered jaws and internal mechanisms designed to securely and uniformly grip both steel and aluminous (aluminum) stranded earthwires, ensuring full material compatibility.

• Secure & Non-Slip Hold: Provides an exceptionally firm grip that tightens proportionally with increasing tension, ensuring reliable, non-slip performance during pulling, tensioning, and holding operations.

• Conductor Protection: Meticulously designed gripping surfaces (e.g., specific tooth patterns or inserts) distribute clamping pressure evenly, preventing crushing, distortion, or damage to the individual strands of the earthwire or OPGW (Optical Ground Wire).

• High Holding Capacity: Engineered from high-strength forged alloy steel, heat-treated for superior durability and wear resistance, capable of withstanding the significant tensile forces involved in earthwire operations.

• Quick & Easy Application: Designed for straightforward and efficient attachment and release, boosting operational efficiency and reducing manual effort.

• Robust & Durable Construction: Built to endure the continuous demands of field use and harsh environmental conditions, guaranteeing long service life and consistent performance.

• Corrosion Resistance: Components are typically hot-dip galvanized or coated to provide excellent protection against rust and environmental degradation.

• Ergonomic Design: Optimized for easy handling and maneuverability by linemen working at various heights and challenging locations.

Product Applications:

Our Steel & Aluminum Stranded Earthwire Grip is an essential tool for a wide range of operations involving ground wires on overhead transmission lines:

• Earthwire/OPGW Stringing & Tensioning: Crucial for applying and holding precise tension on steel or aluminum earthwires during the initial sagging process and full stringing operations.

• Ground Wire Positioning & Holding: Used to temporarily secure and guide earthwires during various phases of overhead line construction.

• Maintenance & Repair: Indispensable for securing earthwires during splicing, re-tensioning, or other repair activities.

• Tower Top Installation: Its secure grip and ease of use make it ideal for safely handling earthwires at the top of transmission towers.

• River/Valley Crossing & Long Span Work: Provides reliable gripping for heavy-duty earthwire installations over challenging terrains.

• Any Application Requiring Secure Earthwire Management: A vital tool for ensuring the structural integrity and lightning protection of the power line system.
