Clamps are essential fittings for securing conductors to towers and other structures. The two most common types are:

• Suspension Clamps: These clamps suspend the conductor from the insulator string, supporting its weight. They are designed to allow a limited range of movement to prevent damage from wind or vibrations.

• Tension Clamps (or Dead-End Clamps): These are used at the beginning, end, and at sharp angle points of a power line section. They are designed to grip the conductor firmly and withstand the full mechanical tension of the line.
