A slack span dead end refers to a specific type of support and tensioning configuration used in transmission lines. It provides flexibility in the design and layout transmission lines. They also allow for minor adjustment in the line route. A slack span dead end installs at specific points often at the end of a span.
Slack Span Dead End: Specs & The Future Read More »
A slack span dead end terminates main, secondary, and even neutral cables. This helps to avoid the production of a standing wave on the transmission line, which could result in signal reflection. A slack span is a small length of conductor between two points when tension is low. It facilitates access to the conductor for

A side tie refers to a specific method used to secure the conductor to the insulator that supports it on a pole. The side tie ensures the stability and safety of the transmission line by preventing the conductor from moving. It wraps around the conductor and insulator to provide lateral support to keep the conductor
Side Tie Mastery: Install, Maintain & Test Read More »
A side tie is a way of securing a conductor to an insulator on a utility pole. It wraps around the conductor and insulator to avoid slippage or displacement. A side tie maintains a firm grasp on transmission wires, ensuring their stability and safety. A side tie’s basic components are the conductor, insulator, and tie

A false dead end refers to a point where the transmission line appears to terminate or has support. It resembles a dead end but it’s not an actual end of the line. It is a specific type of termination or anchoring of a conductor in overhead power lines. A false dead end serves as an
False Dead End Future: Tech & Community Help Read More »
A false dead end is a support structure in which conductors anchor but continue on to the next support without finishing. It provides the illusion that the line does not extend beyond that point. This is to dissuade animals and humans from climbing. False dead ends give mechanical support to control the tension and weight of
