What are the different methods of conductor stringing and what equipment is used for each?

There are two primary methods for overhead OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing:

  • Slack Stringing (or Ground Stringing): This is a traditional method where the conductor is pulled along the ground and then lifted into position. It is typically used for low-voltage distribution lines where terrain and obstacles are not an issue. This method requires a drum stand, a winch, and running-out blocks, but a full puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner system is not essential.

  • Tension Stringing: This is the most common and safest method for high-voltage and extra-high-voltage transmission lines. The conductor is held clear of the ground and obstacles from the drum to the last tower using specialized equipment. This prevents damage to the conductor and the surrounding environment.

Ningbo Changshi is a specialist in tension stringing equipment. Our comprehensive range includes:

  • Hydraulic Puller-Tensioners: Designed for precise control over conductor tension.

  • Anti-twisting Steel Wire Rope: Prevents damage from torsion during the pull.

  • Conductor Running-out Blocks: High-quality, anti-friction blocks to ensure a smooth and efficient pull.

  • Reel Stands and Jacks: For the safe and stable management of conductor drums.

  • Conductor Grippers, Swivels, and Connectors: To securely link the pulling rope to the conductor.
