Mechanical Characteristics Analysis Of Wedge-type Tension Clamps

The dead clamp has a wedge-shaped structure, and the gripping force on the conductor is proportional to the tensile force. The contact pressure between the wedge and the conductor changes with the force. The wedge angle, material hardness and surface treatment jointly influence the transmission of the force. This dead end clamp overhead line structure exhibits a mechanical self-tightening effect, which allows the gripping force to be derived from the tensile load, making it convenient for mechanical evaluation and experimental verification in design and inspection.
