Conductor Repair After Spacer Damper Damage

August 19, 2020

Damage caused by worn Spacers, Spacer Dampers, Dampers, Aircraft Markers, or other line hardware – or lightning and gun-shot – is easily and quickly repaired.

An Australian utility corrected conductor damage on a 29.3 mm O.D. transmission conductor using a ClampStar CRU-1386-016-04 repair unit. This is a 2-piece design, self-shielding to 800kV with unlimited ampacity that installs in minutes and restores both the mechanical and electrical properties to meet ANSI-C19.4 “AA” heavy-duty standards.

Classic Connectors’ distribution and transmission class ClampStar® units are available for use on splices, deadends and damaged conductor. For all aluminum stranded conductors, eg., ACSR, AAC, AAAC, ACAR, ACSS & Composite Core. Also available for OHSW, OPGW, Copper and SWER. Available for conductors sized from #6 AWG – 2515 kcmil (up to 1.912 inches diameter)

Corona Shields
CSC-0883-230	Corona shields are generally required for applications above 138 kv. The appropriate shielding is obtained by combining the ClampStar unit number with the highest anticipated system voltage. Example: CSC-1108-230 designates shielding for corona free performance of CRU/CSF/CSR-1108 units installed on a 230 kv system. **Same shield is used for 230 and 345 KV applications
