The Crossover Clamp, designed to precisely manage intersecting conductors, is a specialized hardware component engineered for overhead transmission and distribution lines. It ensures stringent electrical clearance and robust mechanical stability at crossing points, mitigating clashing and reducing vibratory wear for enhanced system reliability.
Key Features:
- Durable Construction: Typically forged from hot-dip galvanized steel or ductile iron for superior corrosion resistance and prolonged service life.
- Precision Grooves: Designed with integrated conductor grooves to securely accommodate and maintain precise separation of crossing conductors.
- Secure Fastening: Utilizes robust bolts (e.g., hex bolts with oval shoulders) for a positive clamping action, preventing slippage and maintaining connection integrity under dynamic loads.
- Optimal Clearance: Facilitates adherence to critical safety clearance requirements between perpendicular or overlapping conductors.
- Vibration Mitigation: Engineered to minimize wear and abrasion caused by conductor movement and wind-induced vibrations.
- Versatile Sizing: Available in various configurations to accommodate diverse conductor diameters and load ratings.
