Anchoring clamp designs allow the accessory to give maximum protection to the conductor.

At the point of installation loads, the anchoring clamp gives high protection to the conductors.

2. Strong Connection

The primary use of Rayphen anchoring clamp is to provide mechanically strong connections.

These connections are pretty safe.

Anchoring clamps provide safe connections to not only cables having longitudinal anchoring but also maximum loads.

3. Conductor Movement Limitation

As you know that the transmission lines and conductors experience different environmental conditions like storms, winds, rain, and much more.

It appears a lot of times when due to strong winds, the conductors change their position.

This condition might cause transmission line failures and faults.

Rayphen anchoring clamps not only provide connections but also limit the change of position of the conductors due to winds and other factors.

This saves many electrical failures and keeps the flow of current smooth and steady.

Q4. Write Some Applications of Anchoring Clamp?

The Rayphen anchoring clamp has various applications.

Q5. What are Various Types of Anchoring Clamp?

Do you really need an anchoring clamp that works perfectly?

But didn’t know which type to get.

Rayphen offers different types of anchoring clamps that work according to your desire.

These types are different on the basis of the difference in the designs.

1. Wedge Anchoring Clamp

You can clearly see a wedge type anchoring clamp at substations, distribution lines, and overhead lines.

They are wedge type because their conductor clamping style is due to a phenomenon, wedge action.

What it does is, changing the anchoring load of the conductor into a clamping compressive load.

The movement of the wedge longitudinally increases with the increment of anchoring load.

Consequently, the force of clamping and strength also increases.

In wedge anchoring clamps, you can reduce friction by providing lubrication.

This is necessary because less friction means a more powerful grip of the clamp.

These clamps may have a jumper, or they have not.

The anchoring clamp forged bodies are in connection with the help of screws.

2. High-Temperature Tolerant Anchoring Clamp

This type of anchoring clamp has not a unique style or design.

It is more temperature tolerant with the basic standard Rayphen anchoring clamp body and features.

Without having any effect on conduction, these anchoring clamps can bear a considerable temperature.

3. Cone Anchoring Clamp

The mechanism of working or the working principle of cone type anchoring clamp is similar to wedge type.

The difference between the two clamps is that in the wedge anchoring clamp, the force of clamping is through the wedge.

Whereas, if you talk about cone anchoring clamp, the clamping force is through the cone.

The cone may work under a jumper connection, or it may not.

Q6. How to Install Anchoring Clamp Accurately?

The installation of an anchoring clamp is not a tricky and challenging phenomenon.

It is pretty easy to connect anchoring clamps with cables and conductors.

Simple installation steps are as under.

• Open the screws of the anchoring clamp.
