TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION

NEW VORTX™ Vibration Damper 

FROM PREFORMED LINE PRODUCTS

 

NEW CUSHION-GRIP™ Suspension FROM PLP

The level of protection provided by the CUSHION-GRIP Suspensions is comparable to a bolted clamp over armor rods. This equates to a reduction in bending strain as high as 50% as compared to bare conductor in a bolted clamp. This reduction in bending strain can be directly related to an increase in overall conductor life.

At Glance Inspection

Toughened glass insulators cannot be punctured or be internally cracked.  Inspection requires a simple glance at the string, giving a complete and reliable assessment of the condition of the insulation. This means that a crew in a helicopter can inspect over 60 miles of line, or more, per hour.

Inspecting porcelain & composite insulators requires a  testing crew to visit each structure with insulator strings.  Inspecting porcelain insulators is difficult to do requiring buzzing of each unit.  Inspecting composite insulators is sometimes impossible.

NEW! AcoustaWall™ Sound Wall

 

 

AcoustaWall reduces noise and light pollution around transformer yards, along highways and mass transit lines, and near retail, commercial and

industrial facilities. It hides unsightly equipment, discourages intruders, and delivers more noise reduction per square foot per dollar than concrete,

wood or metal. Plus, it looks better, installs faster, and lasts longer.
