What Are The Types Of Hardware According To Performance And Purpose

According to the main performance and use of hardware, hardware can be roughly divided into what categories, the power hardware manufacturer will tell you.

1), Suspension hardware, also known as support hardware or suspension wire clamp. This hardware is mainly used to suspend the wire insulator string (mostly used for straight pole towers) and suspend jumpers on the insulator string;

2), Anchor hardware, also known as fastening hardware or wire clamp. This hardware is mainly used to fasten the terminal of the wire to fix it on the wire insulator string, and is also used to fix the terminal of the lightning conductor and anchor the wire. The anchoring hardware bears all the tension of the wire and the lightning conductor, and some anchoring hardware becomes a conductor;

3), Connecting hardware, also known as hanging wire parts. Telephone, 1377*34 (7457). This hardware is used to connect insulators into strings and connect hardware to hardware. It bears mechanical loads;

4), Power connectors. This hardware is specially used to connect various bare wires and lightning conductors. The connection bears the same electrical load as the conductor, and most of the connection hardware bears the entire tension of the conductor or lightning conductor;

5) Protective hardware. This hardware is used to protect conductors, insulators, etc., such as equalizing rings for protecting insulators, heavy hammers for preventing insulator strings from being pulled up, and anti-vibration hammers and protective wires for preventing conductor vibration;

6) Contact hardware. This hardware is used to connect hard busbars, soft busbars and outlet terminals of electrical equipment, T-connections of conductors and non-load-bearing parallel connections, etc. These connections are electrical contacts. Therefore, higher conductivity and contact stability of contact hardware are required.

7) Fixed hardware, also known as power plant hardware or high-current busbar hardware. This hardware is used to fix and connect various hard busbars or soft busbars to support insulators in distribution equipment. Most of the fixed hardware is not used as a conductor, but only serves to fix, support and suspend. However, since these hardware are used for large currents, all components should be free of hysteresis loss.
