Power Line Cable PA1500 Dead-End Clamp
The PA1500 Dead-End Clamp is a high-strength anchoring clamp designed for securing overhead cables in a variety of applications. It is made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials and features a unique design that provides a secure grip on the cable while preventing damage to the insulation. The PA1500 Dead-End Clamp is easy to install and can be used with a wide range of cable sizes.
- High mechanical strength with a minimum breaking load of 15kN for secure anchoring.
- Tool-free installation utilizing an automatic wedge-type clamping mechanism.
- Constructed from UV-resistant glass-fiber reinforced polymer for long-term durability.
- Corrosion-resistant hot-dip galvanized steel bail for reliable outdoor performance.
- Designed for low voltage aerial bundled conductors ranging from 16 to 35 mm.
Description
The PA1500 Dead-End Clamp represents EPCOM’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance solutions for low-voltage Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) networks. This essential component is specifically engineered for use in demanding environments, ensuring the secure termination and anchoring of self-supporting neutral messenger conductors at the dead-end of a distribution line.
Our design philosophy centers on minimizing installation time while maximizing the security of the cable connection. Consequently, the clamp features a wedge-type mechanism that guarantees a powerful, slip-resistant grip without causing damage to the cable’s insulation sheath. Compliance with international electrical safety standards is paramount.
Key Features of the PA1500 Dead-End Clamp
The utility of a dead-end clamp is measured by its mechanical strength. The PA1500 design excels in both areas. It is constructed from weather-resistant materials that ensure a long service life. The primary function is to hold the main supporting element of the ABC Cable network securely.
Durable Material Construction
EPCOM utilizes high-strength, glass-fiber reinforced polymer and corrosion-resistant hot-dip galvanized steel. For more detailed information on composite materials, please consult resources on advanced polymer composite technology.
Tool-Free Installation Process
The innovative design allows for rapid, tool-free installation. The wedge automatically clamps the conductor when tension is applied, which saves valuable time for installation crews.
Enhancing Network Reliability with EPCOM Clamps
Reliable electrical distribution starts with robust hardware. For intermediate supports, our XGU Suspension Clamp provides a flexible solution for line deviations.
The Role of the PA1500 Dead-End Clamp in Cable Tensioning
Proper tensioning is critical for the longevity of an overhead line. When higher capacity requirements are needed, our high-load anchoring clamp is available as an alternative.
Comprehensive Range of ABC Cable Accessories
EPCOM is a leading provider of accessories specifically designed for Aerial Bundled Conductors. You can find comprehensive documentation on current IEC standards for LV-ABC systems here.
Comparing Anchoring Clamp Types
Anchoring clamps typically fall into two categories: tension clamps and dead-end clamps. The PA1500 is optimized for the self-supporting neutral messenger system.
