What tools and equipment are used to ensure correct phase-to-phase clearance?

2025-08-13

Achieving and verifying proper phase-to-phase clearance is a critical part of overhead line construction and maintenance. The right tools are indispensable for this task:

  • Stringing Equipment: The most important tool is the hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner. It applies a constant back tension to the conductor during stringing, which prevents the conductor from twisting or kinking and ensures it is installed with the correct tension to achieve the designed sag and clearance.

  • Measuring Devices: During and after installation, crews use specialized ultrasonic cable height meters or laser rangefinders to measure the exact clearance between conductors. These tools provide non-contact, safe, and highly accurate measurements from the ground, confirming that the clearances meet the required standards.

  • overhead accessories: We supply a wide range of accessories, including spacer dampers for bundled conductors and conductor spacers, which are used to physically maintain the distance between conductors in a span, particularly in areas prone to high winds.
