Why is proper installation so important for overhead line connectors?
2025-08-13Proper installation is critical to prevent a range of issues that can lead to power outages and safety hazards. Incorrect installation, such as insufficient crimping or improper torque, can lead to:
-
Increased Resistance: A poor connection creates high electrical resistance, causing the connector to overheat.
-
Premature Failure: This overheating can lead to the oxidation and degradation of the conductor and connector material, eventually causing the connection to fail.
-
Arcing and Flashover: Severe overheating or a loose connection can cause electrical arcing, which is a major fire and safety risk.
