Connection Technology Between Insulators And Conductors In Overhead Lines
In actual engineering installations, it is a common practice to connect the dead end insulators cable to the conductor using a clamp structure. Wire clamps are typically made of high-strength metal and include components such as a body, pressure plate, and fastening elements. These components together form the contact interface with the conductor and transmit mechanical loads. The clamp is installed in the conductor slot or head position of dead end suspension insulators to form a stable physical connection with the conductor while maintaining necessary electrical isolation.
The installation process involves positioning the wire in the wire slot of polymer deadend insulator, then installing the wire clamp and securing it with fasteners such as bolts to form a reliable mechanical connection between the wire and porcelain dead end insulators. The structural details of the wire clamp help secure the conductor and transmit loads while reducing the impact of vibrations during line operation.
