Description
A Tension Clamp, also known as a dead-end clamp for a covered conductor system, is used to securely anchor and terminate covered conductors at the ends of a line or at points of directional change. It is designed to accommodate the required size of the covered conductor, considering its insulated outer layer, without compromising the insulation or structural integrity.
Tension Clamps (Dead-end clamps) ensure reliable mechanical and electrical performance under varying weather and load conditions. They provide a firm grip through self-adjustable wedges that distribute tension evenly while minimizing conductor damage. Additionally, these clamps are easy to install, highly durable, and comply with standard BS EN 50397-2, making them essential components in modern covered conductor systems for power distribution.
These dead end clamps are particularly useful in overhead distribution networks where maintaining conductor tension and alignment is critical for system reliability and safety. The robust design of a dead end clamp ensures long-term performance even in harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for both urban and rural power infrastructure.”
