A compression splice is a mechanical connector designed for joining two conductors in overhead transmission and distribution lines. It ensures a secure, low-resistance, and mechanically strong connection by cold-working the metal sleeve onto the conductors using hydraulic or mechanical compression tools. Compression splices are essential for maintaining electrical continuity, tensile strength, and system reliability in power line construction.
Key Features:
