Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fitting for a power transmission system. The fitting may include a first end configured to couple to an end of an insulator, a second end configured to couple to a power line, a collar located between the first end and the second end, and a neck located between the collar and the first end. An outer diameter of the collar may be greater than an outer diameter of the neck. A power transmission system with a fitting and corona ring assembly is also provided.
Claims18
A fitting for a power transmission system, the fitting comprising:
- a first end for coupling to an end of an insulator;
- a second end opposite the first end, the second end configured to couple to a power line;
- a collar located between the first end and the second end;
- and
- a neck located between the collar and the first end,
- wherein an outer diameter of the collar is greater than an outer diameter of the neck, and
- wherein the collar includes a notch located adjacent to the neck, the notch having a diameter being greater than the outer diameter of the neck, and the diameter of the notch being less than the outer diameter of the collar such that the notch prevents upside-down installation of a corona ring.
A system for supporting at least one transmission power line, the system comprising:
- a fitting having a first end configured to couple to an end of an insulator, a second end configured to couple to a power line, a collar located between the first end and the second end, and a neck located between the collar and the first end;
- and
- a corona ring assembly having a corona ring, a clamp seat coupled to the corona ring, and at least one grip element, wherein the clamp seat and the at least one grip element form a socket for receiving the collar of the fitting.
