Reasonable Determination Of Conductor Outer Diameter: The Basis For Selecting Wedge-type Tension Clamps
The fixed dead end clamp specification varies significantly depending on the conductor diameter. Ignoring this can lead to insecure clamping or even operational hazards after installation.
When measuring conductors, the conductor insulation and the actual outer diameter of the stranded wire should be considered. dead end clamp manufacturers typically provide a "suitable conductor diameter range," such as 8–10mm, 12–14mm, 14–16mm, etc. This range must match the actual outer diameter of the conductor.
The correspondence between conductors and ab cable dead end clamp types must be clearly defined. If using steel-cored aluminum stranded wire, aluminum-clad steel stranded wire, aluminum alloy stranded wire, etc., refer to the "suitable conductor diameter range table" in the manufacturer's technical documentation.
