Instructions for installing clamps

As mentioned above, clamps are widely used for creating loops and splicing cables. When carrying out such work, it is necessary to comply with technological standards, since incorrect installation can reduce the maximum operating load of the backbone node by 40%.

First you need to make sure that:

  • The product has no nicks, dents or cracks.
  • The size of the product corresponds to the size of the cable.

Traditional clamps

Step one. The first fastener element is located at a short distance from the free end of the loop. The nuts or bolts are tightened one at a time until the required torque is achieved.

Step two. The second is placed closer to the loop, so that it has a minimum course of deformation. The stroke can be checked by flattening the loop towards the clamp after installation.

Step three. The third is positioned exactly between the first two. It is taken into account that the mating parts of the clamps (those from which the nuts or bolts are tightened) should be directed upward.

Step four. A load equal to or greater than the required one is applied to a section of the main line. The tightness of nuts or bolts is checked and, if necessary, increased.

When splicing, the algorithm for installing the clamps will be the same.

Flat – Simplex and Duplex

They are used in the same cases as traditional ones, but have a different design. Let's look at their installation below using DUPLEX as an example.

Step one. Make sure that the product is complete, the parts are in good condition, and the nuts are not tight on the threads.

Step two. When creating a loop, place the product closer to its beginning; when creating a loop or splicing, position the cable inside the clamp as shown in the figure.

Step three. Install the mating part and tighten with nuts. Apply a load on the structure equal to or greater than required. Check the tightness of the nuts and increase them if necessary.

SIMPLEX Clamp Installation

Installing the DUPLEX Clamp

Special clamps

In relation to special types of clamps, it is impossible to give a general algorithm of actions, however, since it is not possible to position them except for their intended purpose, tightly tightening the fasteners solves the issue of their reliable installation.

EXTRACT from Safety Rules for the construction of overhead power lines

Chapter III - Construction of power transmission lines with voltage of 35 kV and higher.

Section 16 - installation of wires and lightning protection cables.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

16.1. It is prohibited to stand under garlands of insulators, mounting blocks, wires, cables and other objects during lifting, as well as to be or pass under the thermite welding site.

16.2. When installing and dismantling longer overhead lines, the wires of individual mounted sections 3 to 5 km long must be short-circuited and grounded.

16.3. Grounding conductors are first connected to the ground, and then to wires and cables.

16.4. When a thunderstorm approaches and during a thunderstorm, work on installing wires and cables, as well as the presence of people near the supports, is prohibited.

CONNECTION OF WIRES AND CABLES

16.20. Wires and cables should only be cut using an appropriate tool (hacksaw, cable cutter). It is prohibited to cut wires and cables with a chisel.

16.21. Do not use leaded gasoline to wash the ends of wires and connecting clamps.

16.22. After crimping the drives and cables, be sure to file away any burrs formed on the connecting or tension clamp.

THERMITE WELDING OF WIRE

16.23. Thermite welding of wires must be carried out in accordance with the “Instructions for thermite welding of overhead power line wires” approved by Soyuzglavenergo.

16.24. Persons trained in welding techniques and who can perform welding independently may be allowed to work on thermite welding of wires.

16.25. Thermite welding should be done with dark safety glasses. During welding, the person working must be at a distance of at least 0.5 m from the welding site.

16.26. Do not touch or handle a burning thermite cartridge with your hand. Burnt and cooled slag should be knocked away from you and only after it has completely cooled.

16.27. When performing thermite welding work on wooden supports or portals in hot and dry weather, all measures should be taken to prevent fire of the portal support or dry grass from accidental contact with uncooled slag.

16.28. An unburned thermite match should be thrown onto a pre-designated earthen area or into a metal box, near which there should be no flammable objects.

16.29. When rearranging and carrying boxes with thermite cartridges and matches, strong shocks and throws should be avoided.

16.30. Thermite matches should be stored in separate boxes in their original packaging.

16.31. Boxes with thermite cartridges should be stored separately from boxes with thermite matches and stored in stacks on the floor with the lids facing up. The height of the stack should not exceed 2 m.

16.32. Storage for thermite cartridges and matches must be dry, fireproof and meet the established requirements for storage of fire hazardous products; thermite cartridges and matches must be stored in closed metal cabinets.

16.33. Extinguish a thermite cartridge fire only with sand or a foam fire extinguisher. It is prohibited to use water for these purposes.

Conclusion

It’s impossible to say unequivocally that braiding or crimping is better. Each of these two methods has its own advantages. When choosing a rope sling, you must take into account the specifics of the job. If you have to work in extremely low temperatures (in northern regions), it is better to give preference to a braided rope sling. For work in temperate climates, when the flexibility of the rope sling along the entire length is not required, and the loading and unloading method does not contain any special requirements, it is more profitable to use slings with aluminum bushings.

If you could not decide on the type of product, qualified managers will help you with your choice.

Do-it-yourself cable crimping - Metalworker's Guide

When using metal ropes, it may be necessary to fasten them together or form loops at their ends. A steel cable clamp will help you cope with this task effectively. We will describe below what modifications exist and how to use them.

Cable clamp. Types and work. Application and device

A cable clamp is a rigging element used to fix loops on a steel cable or splice it.

It provides reliable fastening and, according to the requirements of GOST and SNiP, is a mandatory element for construction work that involves steel rope.

Connecting with clamps is more reliable than tying with knots, but worse than intertwining the ends during splicing.

What materials are the clamps made from?

What is your saddle made of, wanderer?

The three main materials from which cable clamps are made are (very predictably!): stainless steel, hot-dip galvanized and zinc coated mild steel. Let's look at the example of a saddle.

Stainless steel A2 and A4. Your choice for outdoor applications and harsh conditions. Corrosion resistant out of the box.

Hot-dip galvanized steel. Feel free to take it if you want to save money. Use in unfavorable environments is limited, but it more than meets the required loads. Corrosion resistance is less than that of stainless steel.

Mild galvanized steel. By cheap means, by cheap. The material is not resistant to corrosion (however, you can’t pick off galvanized steel with your finger). If you need something for everyday life, this is the best option.

However, remember that when building highly loaded structures, you will need to check the attachment point at least once every three months to ensure that it is completely eaten up by rust. Hehe. Joke.

DIY cable crimping

When using metal ropes, it may be necessary to fasten them together or form loops at their ends.

A steel cable clamp will help you cope with this task effectively. We will describe below what modifications exist and how to use them.

Crimping the wire and lug using improvised means, without a press or special tools

What to do if you don’t have special tools for crimping on hand or you just don’t want to buy them if you only need to crimp one or two tips?

Many, faced with this problem, resort to incorrect methods, which in the future only worsen the contact, without ensuring a reliable connection.
