T-CLAMPS
About The Product
T-Clamps (also known as Tee Clamps or Tee Connectors) are mechanical connectors used primarily in overhead transmission and distribution lines. They provide a 'T' connection by linking a branch conductor to a main conductor without cutting or damaging the main line. These clamps are essential for ensuring electrical continuity and mechanical stability at junction points.
featueres
1. Durable Material: Typically made of high-conductivity aluminum alloy or copper for efficient current flow.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Designed with anti-corrosion properties for long life, especially in outdoor environments.
3. Easy Assembly: Mechanical tightening design ensures simple installation without special tools.
4. High Conductivity: Ensures minimal energy loss at junction points.
5. Mechanical Strength: Withstands mechanical stress, vibration, and weather fluctuations.
usage
1Create branch lines from the main conductor in transmission and distribution networks.
2. Connect jumper conductors during maintenance or sectional changes.
3. Support dead-end and suspension applications in overhead line construction.

INSTALLATION
1. Clean conductor surfaces (especially where the clamp will contact).
2. Position clamp on the main conductor, aligning the tap outlet.
3. Insert tap conductor into the T-branch section.
4. Tighten bolts as per the recommended torque values.
5. Inspect for alignment, secure fit, and signs of mechanical strain.
