Transmission & Substation Fittings

Partalum transmission and substation fittings are the tension and suspension string fittings, made of aluminum and hot-dip galvanized forged steel, that build the insulator string and hold the conductor on transmission lines and substations. The line covers a mechanical strength of 80 to 480 KN.

Applications

Where are transmission and substation fittings used?

Insulator-string attachment, conductor suspension and tension, aeolian vibration damping, equipotentialization and shield-wire support — on transmission lines and substations.

Insulator string attachment

Mechanical ball-and-socket connection of insulator strings with clevises, sockets, shackles and links.

Conductor suspension

Support of the conductor on tangent structures with suspension clamps.

Tension and dead-end

Anchoring of the conductor on dead-end structures with tension clamps and compression dead-ends.

Vibration damping

Dissipation of aeolian vibration of the conductor with Stockbridge dampers to prevent fatigue.

Equipotentialization

Control of the electric-field gradient and corona effect with corona rings.

Shield wire

Suspension and dead-end of the shield wire at the top of the structure for protection against discharges.

Materials & standards

What are they made of and which standards do they meet?

Tension and suspension string fittings are made of aluminum and forged steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish to resist outdoor corrosion. The whole line covers a mechanical strength of 80 to 480 KN and is designed to conform with NMX-ANCE.

FAQ

What engineering asks about this line.

What mechanical strength do Partalum transmission and substation fittings handle?

The tension and suspension string fittings line handles a mechanical strength of 80 to 480 KN, to NMX-ANCE, covering from suspension strings to high-load dead-ends.

What finish do the fittings have?

The fittings are made of forged steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, which protects against corrosion on outdoor transmission lines and substations.

What conductors and applications are they used for?

They are used to build the insulator string and for the suspension and tension of the conductor on transmission lines and substations, with clevises, shackles, suspension clamps and compression tension/dead-end clamps.
