Which Parts Of A Wedge-type Tension Clamp Can Use Insulating Reinforced Composite Materials?

dead end clamp overhead line primarily consists of the clamp body, wedges, and related connectors, with some components involving electrical insulation and material performance requirements.

Electrical insulation components are key areas where insulation-reinforced composite materials are used, such as the outer sheath of the wedge and the cover section near the interface between the dead end clamp with eye hook and the conductor. These areas have requirements for dielectric strength, and the insulation properties of composite materials can replace the traditional metal parts with additional insulating covers. Glass fiber reinforced polymers are often used in similar products as outer covers or support structures, which combine weather resistance and dimensional stability.

The application of composite materials has also extended to non-metallic components in the overall structural design of dead end loop clamp, such as the retaining parts of overhead insulated conductors in part dead end tension clamp, where reinforced composite materials are used to manufacture covers or wedges to provide the necessary electrical isolation.
