What are the primary methods for connecting conductors in overhead power line projects?

2025-08-10

Answer: The primary methods for connecting overhead line conductors depend on the type of conductor and the application, with the most common being compression and mechanical connectors. Compression connectors are widely used for permanent connections, such as full-tension splices and dead-end clamps, as they create a strong, low-resistance joint. These require specialized hydraulic or manual crimping tools to deform the connector onto the conductor, ensuring a secure electrical and mechanical bond. Mechanical connectors, like split-bolt connectors, are also used for non-tension taps where a branch conductor is connected to a main line. Ningbo Changshi offers a full range of high-quality stringing equipment and overhead tools and accessories essential for these applications, including hydraulic crimping heads, manual crimping tools, and various Conductor Cutters.
