Protective Fitting

Key Features of Preformed Armor Rods
Thermal Rating- Ensure the armor rod can withstand the operating temperatures of the conductor.
Support Lengths-Consider both single and double support lengths to match the installation requirements.
Diameter Range- Select an armor rod that fits within the diameter range of your conductor.
Nominal Conductor Size- Verify that the armor rod is suitable for the nominal size of your conductor.
Type of Material- Match the armor rod material with the conductor surface material to prevent corrosion.
Color Code-Use the color code to easily identify the conductor size and ensure correct installation.

Key Features of Vibration Damper
Contoured Clamp-Aluminum alloy extrusion offers a “precision” fit to evenly capture the conductor and uniformly distribute pressure along the conductor surface.

Clamp Profile-During installation, the damper clamp will hang from the conductor in accordance with IEC standards. Hands are free to tighten the bolt to the proper torque.

Messenger Strand-Precision manufactured galvanized steel messenger strand efficiently absorbs vibration energy.

Weight-Open galvanized ductile iron weights do not enclose the messenger, reducing the possibility of corrosion.

Weight Attachment-PLP's novel weight attachment system exceeds the pull-off strength requirements of the IEC standards without changing the properties of the adjoining messenger. In contrast, heat from casting or welding attachment methods can alter the messenger strand and reduce performance.

Breakaway Bolt Option-The VORTX Vibration Damper can also be ordered with a breakaway bolt. When tightened to the recommended torque level, the top head of this bolt will shear off, ensuring that the clamp is neither over, nor undertightened.

Key Features of Armor Rods
Grip enhancement-Armor rods improve the grip between conductors and suspension clamps. These prevent slippage and maintain secure connections under external forces.

Corrosion resistance-The armor rods are from materials that provide resistance to corrosion. They also protect them from different environmental conditions.

Versatility-They come in various designs and sizes to accommodate different conductor diameters and types.

Abrasion protection-They wrap around the conductors which acts as a protective barrier against abrasion and wear.

Durability-By reducing wear and abrasion on conductors and clamps, they contribute to the longevity of the components.

Key Features of Spiral Vibration Damper
Environmental adaptability-SVDs have designs to withstand a variety of environmental conditions. These include high winds, temperature variations and exposure to UV radiation. This helps to ensure reliable performance in diverse geographical locations and climatic conditions.

Improved power quality-Line vibrations can affect the quality of power delivered to consumers. SVDs contribute to maintaining consistent power quality and reduce the risk of outages.

Extended lifespan-This is by reducing the amplitude of vibration and mitigating the stresses on the conductors. This helps utilities and operators reduce maintenance costs and optimize the long-term performance of their assets.

Vibration reduction-The primary benefit of spiral vibration dampers is to reduce vibration. This helps reduce the risk of fatigue failure in conductors, insulators and other components. This enhances the reliability and safety of the transmission system.
