Why is proper installation so important for overhead line connectors?

2025-08-13

Proper 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.

At Ningbo Changshi, we provide a complete line of high-quality tools and equipment designed for precise installation, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection every time.
