How does using specialized HV pulling equipment protect the cable's integrity?
2025-08-15Professional Answer: High voltage cables are highly sensitive to stress. The specialized equipment we manufacture is specifically designed to protect the cable's core and insulation, which are crucial for its long-term performance.
-
Controlled Tension: A hydraulic puller ensures the pulling force never exceeds the cable's rated maximum tension, preventing stretching or internal damage.
-
Proper Bending Radius: The large bullwheel diameters on our OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners are engineered to prevent sharp bends, which can cause permanent damage to the insulation and semi-conducting layers.
-
Reduced Friction: Using purpose-built rollers and guides minimizes friction during the pull, which further reduces the required pulling tension and protects the cable's outer sheath from abrasion.
