2025-08-14A successful 220 kV cable project relies on specialized, high-capacity equipment to handle the scale and precision required. Essential tools include:
-
Hydraulic Cable Puller: A robust hydraulic puller with an automatic tension recorder is mandatory to control the pulling force and document the entire process.
-
Cable Tensioner: Used to control the tension on the pilot wire and cable during stringing, ensuring a smooth and controlled operation.
-
Motorized Cable Winches and Drum Stands: These are used to safely and smoothly unreel the very large and heavy cable drums, which can weigh several tons.
-
Sectional Cable Rollers and Sheaves: Specifically designed to support the cable and maintain the minimum bending radius at corners and curves.
