What Is A Bolt-type Tension Clamp?

bolted type strain clamp is a terminal connector used in overhead power transmission and distribution lines to fix conductors and withstand their mechanical tension. dead end strain clamp, in its structural design, uses malleable cast iron or stamped steel to make the body and pressure plate, with bolts and U-bolts as the fastening mechanism. The conductor is securely locked through vertical clamping and a wavy contact friction configuration. During installation, the U-bolt of bolted dead end clamp should be located on the jumper side, while screws should be avoided on the span side to ensure proper force distribution in the direction of tension.
