 Socket clevis for used on the transmission line overhead line and power line

Description:

SMICO's socket clevis is made from cast iron. SMICO socket clevis manufacturing process consists of the following steps: First, heating the iron from solid into liquid. Then pour the liquid iron into the socket clevis’s mold which contains a hollow shape of the socket tongue. When the liquid solidifies, go to the next step called annealing.

The final treatment on the socket tongue is hot dip galvanizing. Even in the tropical area conditions, where the humidity of up to 90%, the average ambient temperature of +30 degrees, the socket clevis will not get rusty.

1.What is Socket Clevis?

●Socket clevis is also known as socket tongue is a very integral component of the pole line technology.

●It is commonly used on overhead lines, transmission lines, and power lines.

●It is a major component in pole line hardware which usually connects the socket type insulator and the tension clamp.

2.Why You Need Socket Clevis?

As an integral part of pole line hardware, socket clevis is used for some purposes.

• It connects the socket type insulator and the tension clamp or the support.
• It is used as fitting in joining insulators of one string. Examples include“ball and socket, clevis and tongue connections, yoke plates for multi-string insulators.”
• It can also be used on power lines as an electric link.
• In overhead lines, it is used as an integral part of supplying electric energy to trains, trolley buses, and trams.
• In transmission lines, it is part of the system designed to help in conducting alternate currents in radio frequencies.

3.Main Components of Socket Clevis

-A socket clevis is an assembly of various parts and components.

-Even though they vary in designs and shapes, here are some of the most common parts.

4.How to Install Socket Clevis?

• The insulator strings should be assembled on the ground before climbing the pole. Assembling the strings on the ground is easier as compared to doing it at the top of the pole.
• The insulators and the fittings are also installed on the ground and also at higher altitudes.
• To increase the efficiency of the installation, especially when construction conditions are in place, ground assembly is preferred.
• Assembly at high altitudes is done when the construction has restrictions.
• During the installation process of insulators and fittings at high altitudes, workers carry tools, ropes and steel tapes up the ladder.
• The position of installation of the cross arm is marked and with the assistance of a rope, it is pulled.
• The cross arm is installed in place then other hardware such as the insulator and insulator strings are installed.
