Formed Wire Double Side Tie
A side tie is a mechanical accessory used in overhead power line construction to securely fasten conductors to insulators on the side of crossarms or poles. Designed to maintain conductor alignment and provide reliable electrical and mechanical performance, side ties minimize conductor motion under wind or vibration and reduce wear on insulators. They are widely used in distribution networks where conductors are mounted at side positions rather than top ties.
Key Features
- Secure Conductor Grip – Provides firm yet controlled holding strength without damaging the conductor.
- Durable Construction – Manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel or aluminum alloy for corrosion resistance.
- Insulator Protection – Ensures uniform pressure distribution, reducing abrasion and prolonging insulator life.
- Ease of Installation – Preformed shape allows fast, tool-free application with consistent fit.
- Electrical Reliability – Maintains conductor positioning to prevent flashovers and improve line stability.
- Versatility – Compatible with various conductor sizes and insulator types used in distribution lines.
