Mechanical Analysis of Clamp for Powerline Conductors

Abstract

The contribution deals with mechanical simulation of clamps for overhead powerline AlFe conductors. The process of pressed joint creation for two AlFe conductors and tensile test of such system are simulated using ANSYS software. The obtained results are compared to given tensile strength of the clamp.
