Key Factors for Selecting the Correct Tension Clamp
2025-08-16Choosing the right tension clamp is critical for the safety and reliability of a power line. Key factors to consider include:
-
Conductor Size: The clamp's groove diameter must precisely match the overall diameter of the ACSR conductor. A mismatch can lead to a weak grip or damage the conductor.
-
Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS): The clamp's rated holding strength should be at least 95% of the conductor's UTS. This ensures the clamp will not slip under maximum operating tension.
-
Material Compatibility: The clamp material, typically a high-strength aluminum alloy or hot-dip galvanized steel, should be compatible with the conductor to prevent galvanic corrosion.
-
Application Voltage: Bolted clamps are generally suitable for lower voltages, while compression clamps are the industry standard for high-voltage applications due to their superior performance and durability.
