A Suspension Clamp is a critical component in overhead power transmission and distribution systems. It is designed to support and secure conductors or cables to poles or towers while allowing limited movement to absorb mechanical stress.
Functions & Applications
- Used to suspend electrical conductors in overhead transmission lines.
- Provides mechanical support while reducing stress on cables.
- Allows controlled movement to accommodate wind and thermal expansion.
- Commonly used in medium and high-voltage transmission lines.
Features & Materials
- High-strength aluminum alloy or galvanized steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Rubber or polymer inserts to minimize cable abrasion and vibration.
- Optimized design for easy installation and maintenance.
- Available in different types, including bolted, wedge-type, and preformed suspension clamps.
Suspension clamps are essential in ensuring stable and reliable power transmission, reducing mechanical wear, and enhancing the lifespan of electrical conductors
