Tension clamp

Tension clamps are used to tension conductors and earthwires and must

therefore satisfy the most stringent requirements.

There are two basic systems of tension clamps, viz:

1.Detachable clamps, such as wedge-type tension clamps, thimbles,

bolted type tension clamps, which allow for subsequent adjustment.

2.Non-detachable clamps, such as compression dead-end clamps

which require absolute matching to the conductor length.
