Joints and connectors
Joints and connectors are intended for connection of conductors and ground wires for оverhead power transmission lines:
- Bolted jaw-type clamps are used for a non-live connection of ground wires, live connection of aluminum and steel-aluminum conductors, and transition from aluminum and steel-aluminum conductors to copper conductors and vice versa;
- oval clamps set up by twisting are used for a midspan connection of aluminum and steel-aluminum compression joints set up by crimping are used for connection of steel-aluminum conductors to each other, hollow aluminum wires of the substation busbar;
- loop connecting clamps are used for detachable joints and transition from one to two wires or from two wires on three wires;
- wire repair sleeves are placed in the fault locations of steel-aluminum wires;
- ground clamps are intended for connection of steel ground wires or other wires used for lightning protection at OTL to the earth terminals of the towers;
- splice sleeves are used for connection of wires and cables with aluminum core of up to 10 kV.
