Abstract
An electrical transmission line repair device including a first conductor clamp, a second conductor clamp and at least one tie rail extending between the first and second conductor clamps in a spaced apart orientation. The first conductor clamp including a lower assembly and an upper assembly. The lower assembly and the upper assembly are slidably engageable with each other so as to define a conductor cavity extending therealong. Clamping fasteners are configured to extend through openings in the upper assembly so as to be threadable toward and away from the conductor contact region of the lower assembly within the conductor cavity.
Claims18
An electrical transmission line repair device comprising:
- a first conductor clamp and a second conductor clamp spaced apart from the first conductor clamp, at least one of the first conductor clamp and the second conductor clamp further including:
- a lower assembly including a conductor contact region extending longitudinally therealong with a first side connector assembly extending along a first side of the conductor contact region and a second side connector assembly extending along the a second side of the conductor contact region so as to position the conductor contact region therebetween;
- an upper assembly including a base wall with a first lower leg extending along a first side of the base wall and a second lower leg extending along a second side of the base wall spaced apart from the first lower leg to define a lower channel therebetween;
- the first side connector configured to slidably engage with the first lower leg with the second side connector configured to slidably engage the second lower leg to, in turn, slidably couple the lower assembly with the upper assembly to define a conductor cavity therealong;
- and
- at least one fastener positionable between the base wall and the conductor contact region of the lower assembly, the fastener configured to be directable toward and away from the conductor contact region of the lower assembly, to, in turn, sandwich a conductor therebetween;
- at least one tie rail connected to the first conductor clamp and to the second conductor clamp.
