Abstract:
A wire or rod-like device having preshaped helices or curved elements for application to an overhead conductor lengthwise of the conductor, the helices or curved elements of the device increasing in pitch in the direction in which the element is applied to the conductor.
Abstract:
Devices for spacing overhead, parallel subconductors of a conductor bundle and for damping vibrations of the subconductors. The devices each comprise elongated, rigid arms pivotally connected together at one end and at a common, center location of the device, and having a clamp at the other end of each arm for attaching the arms to respective subconductors. Extending between and physically connected to the arms are resilient wire cables providing the primary damping mechanism.
Abstract:
A device for spacing conductors and for damping mechanical vibrations of a conductor, the device including a conductor clamping member mechanically connected to an adjacent member, such as another conductor clamping member, by a close wound helical spring and a pin means spaced from the spring, the spring and pin means extending between spaced arms of one of the members and through a single arm of the other member located between and spaced from the spaced arms of the one member.
