Automatic wedge deadends: QA and Failure Modes

An automatic wedge deadend in power distribution and telecommunications networks anchors, terminates, and tensions conductors and cables without need for bolts, compression tools, or complex installation equipment. The deadend consists of the body, wedges, and bail....
Trunnion suspension clamps: Performance Factors

Trunnion suspension clamps: Performance Factors

A trunnion suspension clamp is a mechanical fitting used to suspend conductors from utility poles or towers. Trunnion suspension clamps does so while allowing limited movement caused by wind, temperature changes, and line tension. The trunnion clamp serves on medium-...
