A corona ring is a device used to control the occurrence of corona discharge in electrical systems. Corona discharge occurs when there is a high voltage gradient present. This is especially around the conductors which results into the ionization of the surrounding air. This creates a visible glow or aura and audible noise. Corona discharge

A thimble clevis is a component used for attaching insulators to the line conductor in overhead transmission lines. It also helps to connect the conductor to the insulator strings which support the conductors. It consists of a thimble-shaped metal component with a groove at one end to accommodate the conductor. The other end of the

A spiral vibration damper is a device used to control aeolian vibrations in ADSS cables. ADSS cables are fiber optic cables designed for aerial installations. Aeolian vibrations can lead to fatigue and potential damage over time. These vibrations are from wind-induced oscillations and other environmental conditions. The dampers install along the length of the cable

An insulated piercing clamp (IPC) is a specialized device used in transmission lines to create tap connections. It allows for the connection of a branch line to main line without needing to strip the insulation from the main line conductors. Use of the connectors makes installation faster, safer and reliable. This is as compared to
