What are the key materials supplied for overhead line construction?
2025-08-13overhead line construction relies on a range of specialized materials and components that work together to form a safe and reliable electrical grid. The primary materials and components supplied are:
-
Conductors: These are the wires that carry the electrical current. Common types include ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced), which combines the low weight and conductivity of aluminum with the strength of a steel core. There are also all-aluminum and all-aluminum alloy conductors for different applications.
-
Support Structures: This includes the poles (wood, steel, or concrete) and towers that hold the conductors at a safe height.
-
Insulators: These are devices made from porcelain, glass, or polymers that prevent electrical current from flowing from the conductors into the supporting structures.
-
Line Hardware & Fittings: This is a vast category that includes all the clamps, connectors, bolts, and accessories used to attach conductors, insulators, and other components to the support structures.
While we are not a material supplier, our extensive range of overhead line equipment is specifically designed to handle and install every one of these materials with precision and care.
