Tension/Dead End Clamp

Medium Voltage Covered Conductor (MVCC) Anchoring and Dead-End Clamps detail the specific physical, electrical, and mechanical properties required by state utilities and international standard boards.

Dead End/Anchoring Clamps are used to anchor the covered conductor and provide tension to the line. Specially engineered plastic wedges grip the conductor firmly without harming the insulation, ensuring a long life for the conductor. In addition, an anti-tracking insulation piercing connector is used to prevent partial discharges and radio disturbances. These clamps are delivered ready-to-use, which saves time and effort during installation. The voltage range for these clamps is 11kV to 33kV, and they can withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to 75°C.

Designed for direct installation over fully insulated conductor jackets, the clamp uses a self-tightening wedge mechanism that converts line tension into a uniform, distributed radial gripping force. This configuration allows utilities to securely anchor conductors at high-tension terminal poles, dead-ends, or acute directional changes without stripping the wire covering, protecting the inner aluminum core from water ingress and environmental exposure, complying with standard BS EN 50397-2, making them essential components in modern covered conductor systems for power distribution
