Helical Rod Spacer
The Helical Rod Spacer is designed for use with horizontally bundled subconductors, particularly in twin conductor configurations. This spacer ensures uniform spacing, which is critical for maintaining consistent electrical characteristics. It minimizes wind-induced motions such as oscillation and galloping, preventing potential conductor damage. The Helical Rod Spacer is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy wire, providing durability and resistance to galvanic corrosion. Custom sizes are available to meet specific requirements, making it adaptable for various applications.
In addition to its primary function of spacing, the Helical Rod Spacer is engineered to perform effectively at voltages up to 500 kV AC and 750 kV DC without generating corona. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no special tools, and can be conducted using hot line tools for safety and efficiency. This spacer is particularly beneficial in environments subject to high winds or ice accumulation, where it helps stabilize conductor bundles by reducing oscillation and enhancing overall line integrity.
