Side ties electric power fittings

Side ties electric power fittings are designed for securing conductors in the side groove of insulators. Both vertically or horizontally mounted. They eliminate fatigue and wear problems on conductors.

Side ties

Advantages
1. The conductor fixed by distribution tie line is better than tie line by hand. It allows the un-breaking conductor produces certain control movement in the design of distribution tie line. It can make the conductor recover to the original position under a certain situation. The yield and restoring ability of tie line under different loading is called rebound elasticity and each one has this kind of characteristics.

2. Material strength: the tie line is made of Aluminum clad steel or Aluminum alloy, the material strength is higher than soft Aluminum tie line by hand.

3. The distribution tie line is matched insulator tightly and can anti upward loading and prevent the conductor jumping from insulator.

4.For the impulsive load: the elastic tie line just like impulsive load's absorber, it can reduce load and catch up the conductor security. The tie line cant become flexible and lead the abrading of conductor under different situation, such as low frequency shimmy, high frequency wind vibration and shimmy.
