JXL wedge-type conductor clamps are a type of conductor fastener commonly used in overhead power transmission lines. They are primarily designed for connecting non-load-bearing conductors or for tapping purposes. Below is a detailed description:
Structure
JXL wedge-type conductor clamps consist of a wedge-shaped body and wedge blocks. This structure provides a large contact area between the clamp and the conductor, ensuring constant clamping force.
Material Characteristics
They are usually made of high-strength special aluminum alloys, such as 6061 aluminum alloy. These clamps offer excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength. Additionally, the clamp is non-magnetic, which eliminates energy loss.
Technical Specifications and Models
JXL wedge-type clamps are available in several variants, including JXL-1, JXL-2, JXL-3, and JXL-4. Each model is designed for conductors with different nominal cross-sections:
JXL-1 is suitable for main conductors with a cross-section of 95-50 mm² and tapped conductors with a cross-section of 16-95 mm².
JXL-4 is suitable for main conductors with a cross-section of up to 240 mm² and tapped conductors with a cross-section of 16-240 mm².
Installation Method
Special tools are required for installation, primarily an installation gun or manual hydraulic clamps:
The installation gun is suitable for high-altitude work or confined spaces. It does not require hydraulic equipment and allows one-handed operation for quick installation.
Manual hydraulic clamps are ideal for mass installation on the ground. They provide more uniform crimping force and are suitable for conductors with larger diameters.
Performance Advantages
Excellent contact characteristics with low DC resistance.
High overload capacity, thanks to the large cross-sectional area of the wedge, which can withstand an overload exceeding twice the rated current.
Superior thermal stability, maintaining low DC resistance throughout the entire thermal cycling process.
Reliable connection, ensuring permanent fixation of the wedges when installed correctly.
High reliability and comprehensive performance.
Cost-effectiveness, outperforming bolted clamps both in terms of price and practicality.
Application Scenarios
Suitable for non-load-bearing or tapped connections of insulated aluminum stranded conductors, aluminum stranded conductors, copper stranded conductors, or aluminum-clad steel stranded conductors in overhead distribution lines. Used in combination with insulating covers and conductor clamps to provide insulation protection.
